Her momma's still got that sequin
gown that she wore in eightysix.
She taught her early how to smile

that smile and wave from the parade
It took a whole lot of years and tears
For her momma to finally admit

No matter how many stiches and pins
That old dress was never gonna fit
She was daddy's little girl

Momma's little angel
Teacher's pet, Pageant queen
She said, "All my life I've been pleasin'

everyone but me,
Waking up in someone else's dream"
Her daddy used to say,

"You'll make a lovely bride someday
He'll ride up on a big white horse
and just carry you away"

It took twentyfive years and some broken vows
Before they'd finally see
There's a little more to love and life

Than fairy tales and hand me down dreams
She was daddy's little girl
Momma's little angel

Teacher's pet, Pageant queen
She said, "All my life I've been pleasin'
everyone but me,

Waking up in someone else's dream"
Now she's got twentyseven candles on her cake
And she means to make her life her own

Before there's twentyeight
She was daddy's little girl
Momma's little angel

Teacher's pet, Pageant queen
She said, "All my life I've been pleasin'
everyone but me,

Waking up in someone else's dream"
Daddy's little girl
Momma's little angel

Teacher's pet, Pageant queen
She said, "All my life I've been pleasin'
everyone but me,

Waking up in someone else's
someone else's dream.
Waking up in someone else's dream.
