The Hopechest Song Lyrics - Singles - Stephanie Bentley

Her mama bought her a hopechest 

To keep her dreams inside all the precious memories 

Little things she'd like to hide, a magic wand, an old rag doll 

Some plastic pearls 'cause after all 

 

A little girl is only a little girl so long 

And tender hearts need their stars to wish upon 

'Cause one day you will turn around and she'll be gone 

A little girl is only a little girl so long 

 

One day when she got home from school 

She slipped a little note beneath the tattered lining 

And here is what he wrote, "Roses are red, violets are blue" 

"Put an X in the box if you like me too" 

 

A little girl is only a little girl so long 

And tender hearts need their stars to wish upon 

'Cause one day you will turn around and she'll be gone 

A little girl is only a little girl so long 

 

They married in the garden on a perfect July day 

In a horse and carriage they waved and rode away 

Mama went inside to put away her wedding dress 

And spotted a letter lying on the old hopechest 

 

It said, A little girl is only a little girl so long 

Your lonely heart might need a star to wish upon 

So look inside once in a while to bring the memories home 

A little girl is only a little girl and I will always be your little girl 

 

So long
