Jimmy Wayne - Elephant Ears lyrics

rate me

<br>

She was 9 yrs. old goin' on grown,<br>

Shuffled around from home to home,<br>

And no mattwe what, wherever she went,<br>

She carried with her a stuffed elephant.<br>

And her new family knew she was scared to say i love you<br>

Cause she thought she'd have to move away again someday<br>

So she clutched her little friend as they tucked her in, and then<br>

Said it'll be okay, all you have to say is elephant ears<br>

<br>

Chorus:<br>

Elephant ears, that'll be our code,<br>

When you can't say i love you, but you want someone to know,<br>

Sometimes it's what you see, and not just what you hear.<br>

So all you have to do is say elephant ears.<br>

<br>

But they loved that girl like she were their child,<br>

A sad little face became a big smile<br>

And years passed by, while they turned to grey<br>

She took care of them 'til they passed away<br>

And in their home sweet home, she wondered all alone<br>

Where memories lined the halls from wall to wall.<br>

And in their old bedroom, her old elephant heirloom<br>

Was sitting on the shelf, and she said to herself.<br>

<br>

Repeat chorus<br>

<br>

She stared at their photograph reminiscing all the years<br>

Then catches her reflection, and her eyes fill up with tears<br>

Oh she cried until she laughed and when she realized instead<br>

That her lips were forming the words i love you, when she said,<br>

<br>

Repeat chorus<br>

<br>
