Small town stars shine bright for a dayThe moon lights up a watery graveWoods move in the nighttime breezeThat lifts from the lake through the treesOn the night that defined my nameFantasy or monster, you sayWatched my boys ride the incline downAll for a paper gownLong ago I used to beA little girl on my daddy's kneeDreams lie like diamond ringsBabies and pretty thingsI watched my car sink silentlyMy lover's sweatshirt wrapped around meOn a black man I blamed the crimeWith moans and screams and criesThen I waited for him to callMy ready-made family gone after allWhile the world mourned an alibiMy hopes began to dieLong ago I used to beA little girl on my daddy's kneeDreams lie like diamond ringsLetras de cancionesBabies and pretty thingsDay by dayAll the promises faded awayNo one but meControls my destinyThe sheriff sat me down to prayAt the First Baptist Church on the ninth day"Susan, make your conscience clean""Sheriff, I've done a terrible thing"I confessed that, for love's sakeI drowned my children in John D. Long LakeThey're with Jesus, looking downAt me in this paper gownLong ago I used to beA little girl on my daddy's kneeDreams lie like diamond ringsBabies and pretty thingsLong ago I used to beA little girl with dreams I believedDreams lie like diamond ringsBabies and pretty things From Letras Mania
