Close your blue eyes, little one so dear Pink and purple dreams are drawing near Blonde curls on your pillow, wild and free Jesus loves you, this you know, sleeps beside thee Dream, Evangeline, dream tonight Of bounce houses reaching starlight Where Barbie dolls dance in gowns of white And pageant crowns shine soft and bright Sleep now, sweet girl, till morning light Dorothy purrs a lullaby so low While Donkey keeps watch in moonlight's glow Wilson curls up by your bedroom door As brother Elijah dreams next door The North Carolina trees sway and bend Whispering stories without end Of dress-up days and books to read Of all the love you'll ever need Dream, Evangeline, dream tonight Of bounce houses reaching starlight Where Barbie dolls dance in gowns of white And pageant crowns shine soft and bright Sleep now, sweet girl, till morning light Purple clouds and pink moonbeams Carry you to sweetest dreams Tomorrow brings new songs to sing Sleep now, precious Evangeline
I'm not Plan B, I'm not backup I'm the one they planned on first When they dreamed of who was coming I'm the dream that came in first Plan A! Plan A! I'm the first in every way First to come and first to stay I'm Plan A! My daddy was his daddy's first And his daddy was first too Going back and back and back again First sons all the way through Plan A! Plan A! I'm the first in every way First to come and first to stay I'm Plan A! First to walk and first to talk First to cause a fuss First to get the brand-new clothes Before they're passed from us Plan A! Plan A! I'm the first in every way First to come and first to stay I'm Plan A! First son of a first son Of a first son of a first son All the way back We're number one! Plan A! Plan A! I'm the first in every way Not the second, not the third I'M PLAN A! Plan A!
Genre: quirky folk-pop, children's song, playful acoustic] I've got a hundred Hot Wheels cars, maybe more Some are on the table, some are on the floor Some are in my pocket and some are in the chair If you step on one at night, I don't really care I need four in my left hand and five more in my right 'Cause you never know when you might need to race at night Why? Why? That's what I wanna know Why does the sun come up? Where does the bathwater go? Why can't dogs talk? Why is the sky so high? The answer to your answer is another question: Why? I've got a fluffy stuffed giraffe, his name is Steve He comes with me to breakfast and he never wants to leave He doesn't eat his pancakes but he watches me eat mine Steve has very strong opinions but he's quiet all the time And after we have breakfast, there's only one thing left to do Jump on the trampoline until my face turns slightly blue Why? Why? That's what I wanna know Why do grown-ups drink coffee? Why does traffic go slow? Why do I need a jacket? The sun is in the sky! The answer to your answer is another question: Why? Grandpa says, "That's just how it is" Grandma says, "Because I said so" But those are not real answers Those are just the things that grown-ups say when they don't know My cars are very organized—you just can't tell The red ones go with blue ones and the fast ones go with smell That doesn't make much sense to you? Well, that's because you're old Some things about Hot Wheels are secrets that cannot be told And when I get too tired to ask another question... wait... Actually that's never happened, it's already getting late Why? Why? I'll ask until I sleep Why do chickens have feathers? Why do shepherds count sheep? Why is Thanksgiving Thursday? Why is pumpkin pie? Tomorrow when I wake up, I'll start over asking: Why? And that... is why grandparents take naps.
