The Youngest Us Champion
There's a little girl who loves to fly
Who became the youngest U.S. champion ever
By winning her first major competition
At only the age of thirteen
And then a year later
She won her second major title
Her name is Dominique Moceanu!
The first time I saw her perform
And do every jump, twist, or other moves that she does
My heart opened up and let her become my second sweetheart.
She's had an awesome career in gymnastics
That got started on December 18, 1991
And she's still young in the sport
So there's no telling how many medals she will win
If she can stay healthy and free of injury.
Just six weeks before the start of the Olympics
She suffered the worst injury of her young career
When she suffered a four-inch stress fracture
But that didn't keep her from competing
She helped lead Team USA to the gold medal.
