lyrics

(Verse 1)
No cloud upon me
Got a
Braid in my hair
He said I was so pretty, so pretty, so pretty

Daybreak above me
Not a
Hint of despair,
and there was a
light for me, finally
shining

(Chorus)
Been dreaming of a sunny day
You know how they say
Chasing all the clouds away
He'll love me, lovely—
with family

Maybe dreams for me, not you
You know how we do
Just want a mile in new shoes
Of loving, loving,
and family

Hurry up, hurry up, hurry...

(Verse 2)
Time around me
Spinning past all day long
It says to me patiently,
Building its tapestry

Nights come upon you
But lights break at dawn
So just take it easily
Faith that it will be

(Chorus)
Been dreaming of a sunny day
Big hearts and laughs, I pray
You know, just how they say
He'll love me, lovely—
with family

Maybe dreams for me, not you
You know how we do
Just want a mile in new shoes
Of loving, loving,
and family

Hurry up, hurry up, hurry...
