Hands touch, eyes meet Sudden silence, sudden heat

Hearts leap in a giddy whirl He could be that boy

But I'm not that girl I'm not that girl

Bright smile, light the lamp She who's winsome, she wins him

Gold hair with a gentle curl That's the girl he chose

And heaven knows I'm not that girl

Don't dream too far Don't decide on who you are

Don't remember that rush of joy He could be that boy

But I'm not that girl Every so often we long to steal

To the land of what might have been But that doesn't soften the ache we feel

When reality sets back in

Don't wish, don't start Wishing only wounds the heart

I wasn't born for the rose and the pearl There's a girl I know

He loves her so I'm not that girl

Don't dream too far Don't decide on who you are

I won't wish, and I won't start Wishing only wounds the heart

I won't dream, but I'm gonna pray That maybe someday

Someday I'll be that girl
