The Girl I Used To Be
I’m not old - don’t call me old -
I’m just an antique little girl - that’s all I am!
I don’t exactly want to be wiped and dusted
As other antiques,
But I do want to be treasured, adored
And kept on show by those who love me -
Not with all these wrinkles,
But for everyone to see -
the girl I used to be!
