The girl in the red dress

wants to look her best so everyone can see

that she's fashionable and pretty and she doesn't live in a box

outside of life 

she wants everyone to know that she's strong

she may be shy but she

wants to find the one

tonight 

the lights have dimmed

and through clouded vision

she sees someone who notices not her glasses but the red dress 

and he asks her to dance because she is brave

she is strong 

and its all because of the red dress 

oh you may not know it now 

but the girl in the red dress

has a purpose has a meaning

right now life may be demeaning but the future looks promising 

and the girl in the red dress 

is dressed to impress because she wants to be someone in life 

the girl in the red dress

stands out from all the others 

and the girl in the red dress is you and me

its so easy to blend into the background but right now you've gotta see

that livin in hiding is not what life was meant to be

the girl in the red dress

don't forget her name 

does she even have one I'm pretty sure it's the same as yours and mine

always remember

the girl in the red dress
