Sheila Kaufman songs
This is one of Nadia's songs from the 50/90 songwriter's challenge. I heard her gentle instrumental and was so pleased when she allowed me to add my words to it. I wrote to her title, but didn't see it as a children's song, so this was my take on it.... have to admit there's still a bit of a dreamer in this grown up girl. :)
I Believe in FairytalesBy Nadia Cripps and Sheila Kaufman
When I was just a child, just a wee little girl,I would spend afternoons looking out for fairy folkI just knew if I looked hard enoughI would find that magic land waiting there for meNow that I'm grown I have put away my toys and my simple waysand I can no longer see if they wait for me.Now that I'm grown I have put away my dreams,set them on a shelf that's too high for me to reach,just too high to reach.But sometimes as I walk through what was my fairy garden,I find I can almost hear them calling,as if there was something still there hiding,out of sight but somehow still worth findingI believe I still believe in fairytalesI believe in fairytales, I believe in magic x4I believeI believe in fairytales© 2011
