Did you hear the whisper?

The news is all over town,

the girl with the purple dress is back

I hear she's come to stay

I hope she brings her songs

I hope her train has no delay.

If I ask her for a book

I think she'd make me one

she finds peace in that

the binding of a book

the smile of a face

every little girl says "I wish to be her some day,"

She's a gift from the tree's

with flowers in her hair

and no shoes on her feet

she was born of dirt and leaves.

We all treat her as our own

I think she liked us best

I really hope sh'e come to stay,

the girl with the purple dress.
