DREAMIN' GIRL
[Bonnie Lee Panda & Erik Balkey]

Verse
Hazelnut's bruin' on Third Avenue
It'll warm her hands and her body too
As she pulls out a five to pay for her drink
Somethin' grabs her eye and her heart sinks

An ol' man shivers in the winter cold
She's seen him before but just can't turn to go
Behind his traveled eyes
And warn out smile, his beauty lies

Pre-Chorus
She gives him her coffee, a smile and change in his can
Though she knows he's grateful, she just can't understand
As she turns, she wonders "why?"

Chorus
"I'm just a dreamin' girl
I can not save the world
Just a ripple, in a great big sea"
Keep dreamin' girl, cause you're only dreamin' girl
You can only dream

Verse
The smile on her face reminds the ol' man
Of his sweet daughter Suzie and the County Fair band
He held cotton candy in the Ferris wheel line
Before Uncle Sam said it was Daddy's time

Pre-Chorus
He can't stop smilin' as he relives Suzie's laughter
The young woman knows he won't live happily ever after
Thinkin' of him she sighs

Chorus
"I'm just a dreamin' girl
I can not save the world
Just a ripple, in a great big sea"
Keep dreamin' girl, cause you're only dreamin' girl
You can only dream

Bridge
She was God's hands that day she saw him on the street
Her caring smile awoke a precious memory
She'll never know what she can't understand
How God used her to lift the spirit of this gentle man
It wasn't the way she planned

Chorus
"I'm just a dreamin' girl
I can not save the world
Just a ripple, in a great big sea"
Keep dreamin' girl, cause you're only dreamin' girl
You can only ...
Keep dreamin' girl, keep dreamin' girl
