TURNING WHEELS

Verse 1:
Look at the light in her eyes
I guess it shouldn’t come as a surprise
She always dreamed of a day
Just like this …
But I remember baby food faces
A little girl in crinoline dresses
Finger painted pictures decorated every room
How’d she grow to be a woman
Quite so soon

Chorus:
Turning Wheels, Turning Time
Leaving traveled paths behind
Making childhood dreams realities
Turnin’ round, movin’ on
Take a breath and then it’s gone
Going where the journey leads
Making love … and memories
Turning Wheels

Verse 2:
Do you see the smile on his face
Every time she turns and looks his way
He always dreamed of a day
Just like this …
But it wasn’t all that long ago since
Dr. Suess and airplane shows
And all the problems in his world
Were resolved with Cheerios
Where did all the simple moments go

Bridge:
Yesterday was sandbox castles
Baby dolls and dress up sandals
Hot wheels cars that raced through everything
Now their time has come to try out
Brand new wings
Standing here, exchanging wedding rings
Turning Wheels
