She was nine years old
with an old,
old soul
No one bought a painting than a girl should know
And kicked around from town to town
From one house to another Hoping someone would want to be her daddy
or her mother
I was walking my dog
through the park
She was sitting on a swing and it was getting
dark
She said the folks she was living with now
would never own a pet Said kids were bad enough but they got paid
for putting up with that
I said I'll walk you home
and you can walk all blue
She just kept talking and soon I knew We
could be a family and I could raise her
as my own
My house was way too quiet now that my own
kids were grown
I'll be your forever home
A safe place to call your home A place where you can go off track
And no
one's gonna take you back
A place where adults don't fight
When someone tucks you in at night
A place where you can make mistakes
And never have to hide your face
Your forever home
You won't be alone
Your forever home
I signed the papers and walked outside Stood
there in the sunshine and we both cried
She tells me every little thing that pops into her head
The only time she's quiet is when she's sleeping in her bed
I'll be your forever home
A safe place to call your home
A place where you can go off track
And no one's gonna take you back
Your forever home
You won't
be alone Your forever home
