Charlotte Swarbrick - Dear Me Lyrics

Dear little girl, you're doing fine
Just promise me that you will make the most of this time
Playing in the sandbox, rolling down hills
Cos soon you'll be grown up and paying your own bills

Dear little girl, please don't you fret
I promise Mum and Dad both know that you really want a pet
She won't be a dog but you'll still love her dearly
Even though she's basically a hamster Houdini

Dear me, dear me
I can tell you that your life is gonna be
Full of joy and heartache
Sad, fun, hard and really great
Dear me, dear me

Dear little girl, hold your head high
I know it doesn't feel like it but this will pass you by
Stick to your guns and stand your ground
Your friends are on your side and they'll eventually come around

Dear little girl, please don't you cry
I'd love to tell you that these scars and wounds will heal over time
I know you want to close that door and move on somehow
But your heart's still broken and you still love her now

Dear me, dear me
I can tell you that your life is gonna be
Full of joy and heartache
Sad, fun, hard and really great
Dear me, dear me

Dear little girl, please don't be scared
I know three thousand miles sounds far but you'll be prepared
Pack your bags, put on your shoes, you will be alright
Just hurry up and catch that plane cos it's gonna change your life

Dear little girl, you're not alone
You have friends and a family and a place to call home
I know you feel you're different but you're perfect as you are
And ten months from now you'll write this very song on your guitar

Dear me, dear me
I can tell you that your life is gonna be
Full of joy and heartache
Sad, fun, hard and really great
Dear me, dear me

Dear me, dear me
I can tell you that your life is gonna be
Full of joy and heartache
Sad, fun, hard and really great
Dear me, dear
