Lyrics

A GIRL AGAIN
written by: Kasey Rausch

I wish I was a girl again with my head on Mama’s lap
She’d run her fingers through my curls and up and down my back
She’d sing a song of mornin’ time and put a kiss upon my head
I wish I was a girl again but I’m a grown woman instead

I’m not who I once was
I’m older now. I’m older now.
If I live beyond these years
My thin disguise may disappear
-- A girl again.

If I was a girl again I’d find a circle round
With guitar pickers and good time singers and there I’d settle down
They’d play the songs of the good ol’ days and pick into the night
If I was a girl again and my eyes were open wide

I’m not who I once was
I’m older now. I’m older now.
If I live beyond these years
My thin disguise may disappear
-- A girl again.

If I was a woman of old I’d pull you close to me
There we’d sit beneath the stars keepin’ company
We’d sing the songs from days of gold and hold each other tight
If I was a woman old, waitin’ for the night

I’m not who I will be
I’m younger now. I’m younger now.
If I live beyond what I can see
I might learn to be all of me
-- A girl again.
