She Feels

A heartache on high heels

Moving along the sun sparkled sidewalk

Tossing out smiles like candy to the burdened faces

Enchantment floating on the light summer breeze

Life is coming of age

Life is glowing inside of her

Listen to the song in her eyes

Feel the magic that she feels

 

Daddy lives in a shoe box on the top shelf of the closet

Sometimes she lifts the lid, strokes the fading image in her hands

Wonders if he ever wonders about what he never claimed

Laughs at the thought of him trying to explain

Life is coming of age

Life is glowing inside of her

Listen to the song in her eyes

Feel the magic that she feels

 

The urge to leave is chanting through her mind

She lies on the roof and sings to the curious stars

The theater of promise is playing across the velvet sky

She is ready to summon the challenge that lies ahead

Life is coming of age

Life is glowing inside of her

Listen to the song in her eyes

Feel the magic that she feels
