Lyrics
YOU'LL BLOOM (c) 2008 Janice Hopkins BMI
I was wonderin' at sixteen
Why I wasn't prom queen
That honor went to Wanda June
I had more than a single clue
Of what that girl'd be goin' through
If she hadn't peaked all this soon
Mama said my day would come
I'd look back, just move on from
That awkward stage of in-between
Told me not to think about
Cause she knew without a doubt
The last laugh wouldn't be on me
Some flowers bloom in Spring
Just passing, fleeting things
Others wait for Summer's glow
Are strong within, not just for show
Then grow more lovely, year to year
And when your time is here...You'll Bloom
I waited 'til the time was right
Twenty years and more went by
Class reunion time, well..I was ready
Walked right in and I can't lie
Heads all turned and I knew why
Wanda'd passed her prime...revenge is pretty
Some flowers bloom in Spring
Just passing, fleeting things
Others wait for Summer's glow
Are strong within, not just for show
Then grow more lovely, year to year
And when your time is here...You'll Bloom
Well, Mama knew it all first hand
When she said its worth the wait
She's a beauty to this very day
I still hear the words she'd say
Some flowers bloom in Spring
Just passing, fleeting things
Others wait for Summer's glow
Are strong within, not just for show
Then grow more lovely, year to year
And when your time is here...You'll Bloom
I still hear the words she'd say....
To this very day....
