[Verse 1]
A candy coated dream
With parks and trees and figurines
And her arms wrapped 'round my sleeve
With tiny steps and eyes of green
[Verse 2]
Toy guitar that's out of tune
Eyes fixed on morning time cartoons
And by the lantern of the moon
I will dream of a love like you
[Chorus]
And will you hang up high
A family portrait smile
Will you kiss my child
As she is dancing now
This figure I will frame
A life without a name
But this thought I proclaim
I'm just romancing now
I'm only chancing now
[Verse 3]
A candy coated dream
With hearts and string and angel wings
And her life will fall between
The cracks that follow you and me
[Chorus
And will you hang up high
A family portrait smile
Will you kiss my child
As she is dancing now
This figure I will frame
A life without a name
But this thought I proclaim
I'm just romancing now
I'm only chancing now
