Bellamy Brothers

Braces on her teeth
glasses on her face
everything she did
she took last place

We made endless jokes
back then
that brought her pain
'most every day

She was always alone
when she walked to school
we used to laugh
and treat her so cruel
the ugly duckling story she would tell
is what she later became

A swan as white as snow
The memories fade so slow
beautiful wings carried her away
to a better day

A swan as white as snow
The memories fade so slow
beautiful wings carried her away
to a better day

For the swan as white as snow

As we left our school years far behind
so many times she crossed my mind
i would've given anything just to see her again
to say I'm sorry for what happened back then

Then not long ago sittin' in a bar
I heard a voice say "hey there you are!"
I turned around and hardly knew her at all
then arisin' it

And I began to recall

A swan as white as snow
The memories fade so slow
beautiful wings carried her away
to a better day

A swan as white as snow
The memories fade so slow
beautiful wings carried her away
to a better day

For the swan as white as snow

A swan as white as snow
The memories fade so slow
beautiful wings carried her away
to a better day

A swan as white as snow
The memories fade so slow
beautiful wings carried her away
to a better day

For the swan as white as snow
