I once knew a girl
Who had daisies for fingers
Grew lollipops straight from her hair

She traveled by pony
And never looked lonely
My friends she'd insist without care

Called all her family
Spoke mostly harmony
Seemed to have it figured out

Painted in rainbows
In shades only she knows
Around her ideas came to sprout

And now that we are older she still haunts me
Through dark and warm she always wears a smile
So for you, my friend, a song, to say
I'm still inspired by you

I asked her how one could be
Positive and hopeful
When everything falls apart

Life isn't fair she said
Make it a fair she said
Always be prepared she said
To sing

Love is invented
And wars are prevented
And you can do anything
Chin up and be up
For that's what i'll be
When we're eighty years young
We'll be here you'll see

And now that we are older she still haunts me
Through dark and warm she always wears a smile
So for you, my friend, a song, to say
I'm still inspired by you

Somewhere in the world
She plants trails of jelly beans
Some leave them be and some take
In her eyes she makes no mistake
It's now a better place

When one finally whisked her
Away from the rest
She pointed out we all continue to spin
Around and around
'Til we lift off the ground
For what would she be without us!

And now that we are older she still haunts me
Through dark and warm she always wears a smile
So for you, my friend, a song, to say
I'm still inspired by you
