Suzanne has the eyes of a woman, but the heart of a lonely child
She was raised on the radio, as an escape from the world
in a house without love, or the warmth of a smile.
No positive touch, to guide her along
No one to hold her, when lost, or alone, but will grow to be strong in spite of it all
The girl can't help it, she has something to tell
Happy to give what she's learned about love
That to be good to yourself, is the first golden rule
Once you love somebody, and they love in return,
you can learn how to say, "I'll be alright without you"
Suzanne has the eyes of a woman, and a song in her heart
She understands pain, but has grown to be smart
and a part of her knows to be strong, on her own
She once felt alone, but learned to be free
One flip of a coin,....it could have been you, it could have been me.
There once was a child.....raised on the radio
spending long nights in a much kinder world
Dreaming of rainbows, to take her away
and sailing on oceans of air waves all day
Ever watching as stars glisten in moonlight,
often while asking the man in the moon,
never for certain that someone might listen...
"Why can't this night go on forever?"
