THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...) THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...) THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...) THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE...
NIC'S GARDEN

SOMETHING   INSIDE   MORE   PRECIOUS   THAN   WORDS   EVER   HEARD

into the mystery of twelve
I dwelve

what can I say
it's been another year
Happy Birthday
I wish I could appear
and maybe pop out of a cake
and hear your laughter again
oh how I miss you
little Nic giggles
would be my wish come true

now there must be so many strange ideas around your head
as life carries you onward toward your teens
I remember a beautiful child climbing into my bed
curling up to listen to another book of dreams

now I don't know if anyone reads to you at night
I don't know if you would want someone to
but if ever you want someone to turn out the light
I hope you know I will be here for you

wherever we go
as we grow
true love remains in our hearts
you're my little girl
whenever you want to be
just let your dreams do their part
just close your eyes and you will see
dreams are where you can still find me

now there must be so many strangers around your days
as you stretch your life to create new seams
the secret to happiness is remembering the ways
to relax and add to your book of dreams

growing up is the great challenge of this life
independence may seem thrust upon you
but if you ever wonder if it's gonna be alright
I hope you know I will be here for you

wherever we go
as we grow
true love remains in our hearts
you're my little girl
whenever you want to be
just let your dreams do their part
just close your eyes and you will see
dreams are where you can still find me

now there must be so many new things to try
as life carries you onward toward your teens
just remember truth always holds more value than a lie
as you add pages to your book of dreams

now I don't know if anyone hears you read at night
I don't know if you would want someone to
but if ever you want someone listen to your light
I hope you know I will be here for you





Twelve
(Happy Birthday Nic)
