Where did the nights go we stayed up too late
Whispering secrets we swore we’d never say
Talking ‘bout life like we had it all planned
Two little queens in our made-up land
Where are the days when the sun wouldn’t set
Running through summers we’ll never forget
Back when tomorrow was easy to see
Always with you right beside me
Pre-Chorus
We’d draw our whole future out in the sand
Certain the whole world was in our hands
Chorus
We were little girls with big, big dreams
Laughing loud in our ripped up jeans
Building castles in the backyard dirt
Swearing one day we’d rule the world
Now the dreams we whispered late at night
Somehow turned into real life
Look at us now, who’d have believed
Those little girls with big dreams
⸻
Verse 2
Where are the bricks we laid in the yard
Saying they’d build where our futures would start
Back when forever felt simple and near
And growing up wasn’t a fear
The dreams that we whispered turned into truth
You found your road and I found mine too
And somewhere between then and now it seems
We both became somebody’s queen
Pre-Chorus
And time kept moving while we were just living
Learning the life that the good Lord was giving
⸻
Chorus
We were little girls with big, big dreams
Laughing loud in our ripped up jeans
Building castles in the backyard dirt
Swearing one day we’d rule the world
Now the dreams we whispered late at night
Somehow turned into real life
Look at us now, who’d have believed
Little girls with big dreams
⸻
Bridge
And sometimes I miss those summer nights
Fireflies and porch light skies
When growing up felt far away
And tomorrow could wait
But if those girls could see us now
I think they’d laugh out loud somehow
‘Cause everything we used to dream
Is closer than it seems
⸻
Final Chorus
We were little girls with big, big dreams
Running wild through our memories
And even though the years have flown
Look how far we’ve grown
Yeah the dreams we whispered late at night
Turned into this life
And somewhere in the women we’ve been
Live little girls with big dreams
