With grandmother's face and her father's brown eyes

Her own force of will to her mother's surprise

Whole look about her that says that she may

She lifted her arms and she floated away



She floated away, as she floated away

She lifted her arms and she floated away

She don't give a damn what the other girls say

She lifted her arms and she floated away



Let me talk to you, mother, she tried to confess

Go ahead, honey, and wear the white dress

Don't let traditions go stand in your way

She lifted her arms and she floated away



She floated away, as she floated away

She lifted her arms and she floated away

She don't give a damn what the other girls say

She lifted her arms and she floated away



Well, a man has two reasons for things that he does

The first one is pride and the second one is love

All understandings must come by this way

She lifted her arms and she floated away



She floated away, as she floated away

She lifted her arms and she floated away

She don't give a damn what the other girls say

She lifted her arms and she floated away
