13 Little Blue Envelopes (Original)

A song about the wonderful Maureen Johnson book.

Lyrics:

Following her trail
Reliving her past
This journey of mine
Happened so fast

She put me on a plane
with all of one pack
A bundle of blue papers
And the clothes on my back

PRECHORUS:
What can I do
What can I say
It seems that things
Were meant to go this way
CHORUS:
'cause these 13 little blue envelopes
carry all her dreams and all her hopes
taking me to a foreign land
to find the secret of my runaway aunt

Why is it that I
Can't find the answers that I'm looking for
I thought she would never lie to me
But I've been wrong before

I have a feeling
That there's more than meets the eye
It's not just her past that's here
But the story of her life

PRECHORUS

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
I never thought when I left my home
That I would find a love to call my own
Maybe there was more than aunt Peg all along

When I left my friends, my life behind
I never thought that I would find
A boy who would capture my heart with his song

But he was there and aunt Peg, so were you
Guiding me through and through
Even though you are gone

You're still alive in the hearts who love you
Even in these papers blue
This journey has brought with it a new dawn

CHORUS

My runaway aunt x 3

This is super awesome! You should do a Suite Scarlett song too.

[boguspenguin]

I'm glad you like it!

You know, I was just thinking about starting one. I've got a 'Girl at Sea' song started too!

[seashell118]

This is great! I love this book too, and your song perfectly describes Ginny and everything she goes through.

[boguspenguin]

Thanks so much for the compliment!

[ProfessorSpork]

This was awesome. My only minor qualm is that the chorus is so similar to the verses-- I'd have rather heard you go up than down. But a harmony doing the same would serve just as well.

And either way, you TOTALLY WROTE AN AWESOME SONG and that is far more impressive than anything I could do. Woo!
