"Still Okay to Dream"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hey there

Melancholy Cinderella

There's something I should tell ya

if I might be so bold

 

You're feeling low now

But take it from this woman

Though I don't know where 

I'm going

or how I got to be this old

 

It's just the Middle Ages

You're no longer sweet sixteen

You're tired of the hassle

Trying to keep a castle clean

The fairytales of childhood

left you on the final page

 

It's not something that they tell ya

'Ella

We all reach middle age

 

Snow White

Is ever so much more than twenty

The blonde on Sleeping Beauty

is grey where it was gold

 

And I am older, wiser

I think clearer

Don't you listen to your mirror

Dreams are possible

 

It's just the Middle Ages

You're no longer sweet sixteen

You're tired of the hassle

Trying to keep a castle clean

But your story and your glory

are just waiting to be seen

 

It's not something that they tell ya

'Ella

It's still okay to dream

 

Cheer up Cinderella

Now it's still okay to dream  

 

It's still okay

You're on your way

 

Hey now

Melancholy Cinderella

 

It's still okay to dream
