作曲：Donny Lowery/Mac McAnally

A little girl dreamer

Ribbons and long curls

Reflections of yesterdays past

Headlines and footlights

Wee hours and long nights

Keep everything moving so fast

It's taken a long time

And she's walked a fine line

For fortune and fame have arrived

She kept on striving

And half-way surviving

Till part of those dreams came alive

Now she wishes she looked like they

Tell her she looks all the time

What she'd give just to feel like

She tells them she's feelin' just fine

All that money she makes every night

Ain't as much as it seems

Cuz it's a dollar a wrinkle and

less than a nickel a dream

Well her heart may be breaking

But she keeps on taking what

She thought she wanted back then

It's too late to change her

There's always a stranger to

tell her she's someone again

Now she wishes she looked like they

Tell her she looks all the time

What she'd give just to feel like

She tells them she's feelin' just fine

All that money she makes every

Night ain't as much as it seems

Cuz it's a dollar a wrinkle

And less than a nickel a dream

Nickel a dream

Nickel a dream
