Dearest Eleanor

Oh little Eleanor just turned one, two, three She has curls that flow down her back and eyes bright as can be My little Eleanor plays outside all day Lives in a tiny house, but says that it's okay Sweet little Eleanor, full of love and light With only a tiny blanket to keep her warm at night My darling Eleanor, life isn't what it seems She's got a big ol' heart and a head that's full of dreams Keep workin' Eleanor and maybe there's a way Keep workin' Eleanor, you could make it big one day Oh little Eleanor just turned eighteen Still as happy as she was when she was one, two, three Oh precious Eleanor, your life has just begun There's time for work and time for fun My beloved Eleanor just bought her first guitar She wants to be a singer and become a worldwide star My darling Eleanor, life isn't what it seems She's got a big ol' heart and a head that's full of dreams Keep workin' Eleanor and maybe there's a way Keep workin' Eleanor, you could make it big one day Oh little Eleanor just turned twenty-three Not as happy as she was when she was one, two, three My loving Eleanor plays in bars all night Her eyes are big and blue, but they're just not as bright My cherished Eleanor writes her songs all day She clasps her hands together and prays she'll be okay My darling Eleanor, life isn't what it seems She's got a big ol' heart and a head that's full of dreams Keep workin' Eleanor and maybe there's a way Keep workin' Eleanor, you could make it big one day Oh little Eleanor just turned thirty-three She's happier than she was when she was one, two, three My little Eleanor plays sold out shows She's got millions of dollars to blow Sweet little Eleanor made her momma proud Bought her a big ol' house that touches the clouds My darling Eleanor, life is what it seems She's got a big ol' heart and she's livin' her dreams You worked hard, Eleanor and there was a way You worked hard, Eleanor, I told you you'd make it big one day
