Lyrics

She Floated Away

[Verse 1]

With her grandmother's face and her father's brown eyes

Her own force of will to her mother's surprise

A whole look about her that says that she may

She lifted her arms and she floated away

[Chorus]

She floated away, yes, she floated away

She lifted her arms and she floated away

She don't give a damn what the other girls say

She lifted her arms and she floated away

[Verse 2]

"Let me talk to you, mother," she tried to confess

"Go ahead, honey, and wear the white dress

Don't let traditions go stand in your way"

She lifted her arms and she floated away

[Chorus]

She floated away, yes, she floated away

She lifted her arms and she floated away

She don't give a damn what the other girls say

She lifted her arms and she floated away

[Verse 3]

Well, a man has two reasons for things that he does

The first one is pride and the second one is love

All understandings must come by this way

She lifted her arms and she floated away

[Chorus]

She floated away, yes, she floated away

She lifted her arms and she floated away

She don't give a damn what the other girls say

She lifted her arms and she floated away
