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      She floated away, 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      "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      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
