Lyrics: David Lindsay-Abaire
Music: Jeanine Tesori
I was never the daughter you wanted
That's the thing we never say
But that's the truth
And that's okay
We live in a house that's haunted
There's always you. There's always me
And there's the ghost of a girl I'll never be
There's the ghost of a girl I'll never be
Before I go
let go of the ghost
Just let her disappear
And then maybe you'll see me
while I'm still here
I am still here
I was never the girl you intended
he was young and she was bold
She'd hold your hand when you got old
Let's admit the dream has ended
And what you wished for wasn't me
It was the ghost of a girl I'll never be
She's the ghost of a girl I'll never be
Before I go
let's give up the ghost
Just be with me instead
I know I might be dying
but I'm not dead
I'm not dead
So before I go
take my hand
Before I fly away
say goodbye
I will go somewhere that's beautiful
I'll go somewhere that's beautiful
It's time to let me go
Father Time
Let me go
slow down the day
Let me fly... away...
Don't let the dark come and
You have your whole life
steal it away
Your whole life
It's time
For goodness' sake
we're still awake
See the world...
See the world...
See the world...
Baby wants to play
And baby wants to play
Oh...
Dear Make-a-Wish Foundation of New Jersey
As you probably know by now, my name is Kimberly Levaco
Thank you for the tree house
But I don't need a tree house
I'm gonna bungee jump
I'm gonna jet ski
I'm gonna hang glide and clog dance
and swim at the bottom of a waterfall in New Zealand
I'll see the world
See the world
See the world
