Famous To Me

she'd sing into her hairbrush
sittin' in the bathtub
she knew every word, 
patsy cline ever sang

when she closed her eyes hard
she went somewhere far off
under those bright lights
standing on stage

but she came from a small town
where everyone settles down
when dad hit his knee
she said I do

married at eighteen
started a family
the stars in her eyes
faded from of view

and she traded a dream for me
let go of her chances so unselfishly
and whole world may never
hear her sweet voice ring
but she's famous to me

black and white photos
with finger worn corners
she says to herself 
was I ever that young

she lives with the memory
of a lifetime of family
but now we're all grown
and she's all alone

but she has her bible, 
and she keeps her pictures
she lives to remember 
and loves to remind

that if she had her choice
a million new chances
she'd choose having me
each single time

and she traded a dream for me
let go of her chances so unselfishly
and the whole world may never
hear her sweet voice ring
but she's famous to me

she'd sing into her hairbrush
sittin' in the bathtub
she knew every word, 
patsy cline ever sang
