Lyrics
Wise Beyond Her Tears
© Dave & Patti Lenahan, Greg Althammer, Aaron Humphries June 2003
She was just a child, eighteen years ago.
Choices to be made, and some where not her own.
With a dream she'd never hold,
She just did, what she was told.
Sometimes the greatest gift is the hardest one to give.
She gave her baby girl a better life to live.
She waved goodbye through all the tears.
Though, she longed to draw her near.
(chorus)
Tears fell down like summer rain.
She vowed to overcome the pain.
In her mind she'd watch her grow.
In her heart she'd not let go.
As young as she appears, she is wise beyond her tears.
Now, she searches through the crowd at the county fair.
Wonders to herself, does she have my hair.
Are her eyes my shade of blue.
Does she look for me too.
(chorus 2)
And, tears fall down like summer rain.
She vowed to overcome the pain.
In her mind she watched her grow.
In heart did not let go.
Through the crowd she disappears, wise beyond her tears.
As young as she appears, she is wise beyond her tears.
(Tag)
She was just a child, eighteen years ago.
With choices to be made and a dream she'd never hold.
