The Girl

I remember the child

With freckles, dark hair

I remember she\'d sit her bum anywhere 

I remember the phrase 

You should have been a boy 

I remember she\'d laugh 

It brought her such joy 

I remember her sister 

So girly, so sweet 

I remember the girl 

Thank god that\'s not me 

I remember the fights 

I remember her mouth 

I remember her spirit 

Just wouldn\'t back down 

I remember her friends 

I remember such trust 

The dancing, the drinking,

They\'d cause quite a fuss 

I remember her joy 

I remember her pain 

I remember her humour 

Her confidence gained 

I remember the games 

She played with such glee 

I remember it all 

For that girl was me
