I was once a little girl too
So I know how it feels to be small
Standing in your Easter dress, trying not to make a mess
And yes, I loved my teddy bears and dolls
But there was one thing I loved most of all
Horses, beautiful horses, gentle
Long, pretty manes, shining in the sun
Horses, powerful, horses, all muscle
Horses, free when they run
That's why little girls love
Horses
See, I had this disease that made my whole body hurt
So no cartwheels and no climbing trees for me
But I had my mother's piano, I could make a big old noise
I had horses running through my dreams
When I drew them, sometimes I gave them wings
Horses, beautiful horses, gentle
Long, pretty manes, shining in the sun
Horses, powerful, horses, all muscle
Horses, free when they run
That's why little girls love
That's why little girls love
To the world, you may be just a little thing
But to yourself, you are big as the world
Something in a horse's eyes is
Just the same as a little girl's
Horses, beautiful horses, gentle
Long, pretty manes, shining in the sun
Horses, powerful, horses, all muscle
Horses, free when they run
That's why little girls love
That's why little girls love
Horses
