With her grandmother's face and her father's brown eyes
 Her own force of will to her mother's surprise
 A whole look about her that says that she may
 She lifted her arms and she floated away

 She floated away, she floated away
 She lifted her arms and she floated away
 She don't give a damn what the other girls say
 She lifted her arms and she floated away

 "Let me talk to you mother," she tried to confess
 "Go ahead honey and wear the white dress
 Don't let traditions go stand in your way"
 She lifted her arms and she floated away

 Well a man has two reasons for things that he does
 The first one is pride and the second one is love
 All understandings must come by this way
 She lifted her arms and she floated away
