I Wonder

Sometimes I think about you
Wonder if you’re out there somewhere thinking bout me And would you even recognize
The woman that your little girl has grown up to be
Cause I look in the mirror and all I see
Are your brown eyes lookin' back at me They’re the only thing you ever gave to me at all
Oh, I hear the weather’s nice in California
There’s sunny skies as far I can see
If you ever come back home to Carolina
I wonder what you’d say to me
I think about how it aint fair
That you weren’t there to braid my hair
Like mothers do You weren’t around to cheer me on Help me dress for my high school prom
Like mothers do Did you think I didn’t need you here
To hold my hand
To dry my tears
Did you even miss me through the years at all
Oh, I hear the weather’s nice in California
There’s sunny skies as far I can see
If you ever come back home to Carolina
I wonder what you’d say to me Forgiveness is such a simple word
But it’s so hard to do when you’ve been hurt
Oh, I hear the weather’s nice in California
And just in case you’re wondering about me From now on I won’t be in Carolina
Your little girl is off
Yeah, Your little girl is off
Your little girl is off to Tennessee
