Elephant Ears - Jimmy Wayne[00:00:00]
Written by:Don Henry/Jimmy Wayne[00:00:01]
She was 9 years old goin' on grown[00:00:13]
Shuffled around from home to home[00:00:19]
And no matter what wherever she went[00:00:28]
She carried with her a stuffed elephant[00:00:34]
And her new family knew she was scared to say I love you[00:00:43]
Cause she thought she'd have to move away again someday[00:00:49]
So she clutched her little friend as they tucked her in and then[00:00:55]
Said it'll be okay all you have to say is elephant ears[00:01:01]
That'll be our code[00:01:13]
When you can't say I love you but you want someone to know[00:01:16]
Sometimes it's what you see and not just what you hear[00:01:22]
So all you have to say is elephant ears[00:01:28]
But they loved that girl like she were their child[00:01:43]
A sad little face became a big smile[00:01:49]
And years passed by while they turned to grey[00:01:58]
She took care of them 'til they passed away[00:02:04]
And in their home sweet home she wondered all alone[00:02:13]
Where memories lined the halls from wall to wall[00:02:19]
And in their old bedroom her old elephant heirloom[00:02:25]
Was sitting on the shelf and she said to herself[00:02:31]
Elephant ears that'll be our code[00:02:40]
When you can't say I love you but you want someone to know[00:02:46]
Sometimes it's what you see and not just what you hear[00:02:52]
So all you have to say is elephant ears[00:02:58]
She stared at their photograph reminiscing all the years[00:03:10]
Then catches her reflection and her eyes fill up with tears[00:03:16]
Oh she cried until she laughed and when she realized instead[00:03:22]
That her lips were forming the words I love you when she said[00:03:28]
Elephant ears that'll be our code[00:03:37]
When you can't say I love you but you want someone to know[00:03:43]
Sometimes it's what you see and not just what you hear[00:03:49]
So all you have to say is elephant ears[00:03:55]
