Sandy

Sandy found a boy to love ,
The captain of the team .
Her mother said she didn't like
The boy she thought a dream .

Sandy found a dress to wear
To her Junior-Senior Prom .
Her mother said she hated it .
Yes , that was Sandy's mom .

Sandy wore it anyway .
The boys thought she was cool .
Her mother said how she behaved
Made any girl a fool .

Sandy stayed out all night long .
Her mom paced to and fro .
Where her daughter was that night
No one would ever know .

Sandy saw the light of day .
How did the party end ?
And where was he , the boy she loved
And took for her best friend ?

Sandy found she was alone .
Her love had gone away .
Now she knew it mattered ,
What her mom had to say .

Sandy had a daughter and
She loved her oh so true !
Then her daughter fell in love .
Was nothing really new ?

Sandy waited half the night .
She cried , as you may know .
Then her daughter came back home
And giggled at her flow .

Sandy wiped her tears away ,
And smiled a little too ;
Thankful for her daughter's fate
At finding love so true .

Yes , Sandy found a boy to love .
The captain of the team .
The one that brought her daughter home .
The one , she thought a dream .
