Sometimes I think about you Wonder if you're out there somewhere thinking bout me And would you even recognize The woman that your little girl has grown up to be Cause I look in the mirror and all I see Are your brown eyes lookin back at me They're the only thing you ever gave to me at all
Oh, I hear the weather's nice in California There's sunny skies as far I can see If you ever come back home to Carolina I wonder what you'd say to me
I think about how it aint fair That you weren't there to braid my hair Like mothers do You weren't around to cheer me on Help me dress for my high school prom Like mothers do Did you think I didn't need you here To hold my hand To dry my tears Did you even miss me through the years at all
Oh, I hear the weather's nice in California There's sunny skies as far I can see If you ever come back home to Carolina I wonder what you'd say to me
Forgiveness is such a simple word But it's so hard to do when you've been hurt
Oh, I hear the weather's nice in California And just in case you're wondering about me For now on I won't be in Carolina Your little girl is off Your little girl is off Your little girl is off to Tennessee
