This is a song inspired by my son and granddaughter written with Norm and Allen. Previously posted in my listening room.
Dandelions and Violets - Bradley / Monnier / Shervelle
Sitting on grandma’s steps back in my old town
500 mile road trip gave me lots to think about
6 day weeks and the raise I never get
Every day feels like a struggle, getting deeper in debt
Lift:
Then my little girl brings me, Flowers from a field
And I realize what matters is right here
CHORUS:
It’s not the house I own Or the car I drive
Where I shop or what I buy
Why’s it so hard to believe
What I want isn’t always what I need
Sometimes it’s
Just dandelions and Violets
She’s out chasin rabbits, seeing pictures in the sky
I’m dreaming of a Lexus and working overtime
She’s sprinkles and ice cream, in a little pink dress
I’m 5 dollar coffee, in a rush, full of stress
Lift:
There’s some days I get wrapped up in what I can’t change
And when I accept it I’m back on my way
CHORUS:
Bridge:
Some of the biggest gifts are so small
Like flowers from my little girl who’s three feet tall
