about

lyrics

Jonny Burke (Dedpan Music, BMI)

little girl of the world
how i've traveled since i last saw you
and now we meet
and i can see that you're in awe too
holding onto my regret
the open door i led you through to my heart
i thought i'd found some resolution

in the cold months were my words not
just a dagger that fit you perfect
you held it so well
and pricked my soul when you said i love you
i've pondered and i've reasoned
and i've healed with the changing of the seasons
i've healed with the changing of the seasons

i don't know the things you say
and i don't know the games you play
little girl
little girl of the world

now here we sit
hand in hand in the winter moonlight
and with the way you're eyes are talking
i can tell that we're not done
through april and may
what can i say
turns hot and humid
hey i'm only human
through summer to fall
i'd give it all for you i will
the months creep by and your memory lingers

i don't know the games you play
and i don't know the things you say
little girl
little girl of the world
