I Believe

I BELIEVE

Words & Music by Shirley Jackson,© socan

I always thought that family
Would stand tall like those old oak trees
And I believed that friends would be
Standing by me faithfully.
Oh what did I do; what did I say
To make you turn and walk away?

I believed that you and me
Would be together for eternity.
If I could make one dream come true
I’d turn back the time just to be with you.
Oh what did I do, what did I say
To make you turn and walk away?

I believed in Peter Pans
And how Cinderellas always got their man.
My sweetheart was that man in the moon
As I wished upon stars that never came true.
Oh what did I do; what did I say
To make you walk away?
Oh what did I do, what did I say
To make you turn and walk away.
