Lyrics

[Verse 1]

In dresses white, all set for sail

A little girl dreams of taking the veil

[Verse 2]

In dresses white, all set for sail

A little girl dreams of taking the veil

[Verse 3]

On beaches of sand and shell

A little girl dreams of taking the veil

[Verse 4]

A lightning bright and thunder loud

A little girl dreams safe and sound
