Swinging on a swing Playground buzz all around All alone ~ Now she can ride a bike So much later than when everyone else could But she rides it everyday after school ~ Climbing high on a tree Can't get back down A chattering crowd forms and teachers need to intervene ~ Friends turn on friends And what shoes you wear matters She doesn't like growing up ~ Her uncle buys her a sketchbook She draws people, some crying, some smiling In the back corner of her junior high lunchroom ~ First day of high school Wearing the outfit she took forever to pick out So many faces, so much noise, a new world ~ First date, and it feel like she's floating A smile she can't shake until He finds someone prettier than her ~ New boy who takes things slow First kiss with his hands wrapped around her waist A whole new kind of face to face ~ Graduation A dress that slaughtered her father's wallet Bittersweet goodbyes ~ Boy promises to write They go off to separate colleges But slowly grow apart ~ She hangs up the phone After telling him tearfully it was too hard to keep up And they stay friends but distant ~ Then one day not-so-little-anymore-girl Is walking her dog early before sunrise back in her hometown holding down a job out of college She's always been a morning person when her high school love stops her with his smile the way he used to ~ After the breakup halfway through college Due to circumstances the feelings come rushing back And numbers are exchanged before dawn breaks ~ White veil and red roses Another dress to break dad's wallet But she Is beautiful as the love she has for the groom, her high school love ~ Finally can afford a real nice house Two little boys playing in the big yard A little ******* her hip, daddy with his arm around mommy like he used to back in high school ~ Daddy comes home from the doctor one day She is in a screaming match with her youngest little girl who has just turned 13 Daddy has news. One of these days, he won't be coming home ever again ~ Mommy gets a call after tucking the kids in She drives recklessly to the hospital But when she arrives they can't find any life in him ~ Kids grow up strong and healthy Beautiful children who raise another generation of beautiful children She is a grandmother, but she misses the would-be grandpa every second until one day she comes back from the doctor... numbered days left on her life ~ Swinging on a swing Front porch in silence All alone
