Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She's looking in the mirror, the moment's getting nearer
She thinks about it as she walks her walk
Up and down the staircase, makeup fresh on her face
She thinks about it as she talks her talk
School dance, first chance, always been a dreamer
There's one guy, she's shy, sees him through the mirror
And everybody looks at her
She thinks about it
[Chorus]
Blue dress, angel face, looking in the mirror
Shoes, purse, hair tied back
And you should see her
She's got her magic floating through the air
Peace, love, one thing leads into another
Dream big, aim small, man, you gotta love her
She's got her hopes up, got 'em up to there
Wondering what to wear
[Verse 2]
She's standing in her bedroom, he'll be pulling up soon
She thinks about it as she sees headlights looking out the window
She's got her diary to show
That she's been waiting for this all her life
First date, can't wait, looking in the mirror
Heart all wrapped up, wait until he sees her
He's looking right at her
She thinks about it
[Chorus]
Sixteen, blue jeans, Abercrombie t-shirt
Shoes, purse, hair tied back
And you should see her
She's got her magic, floating through the air
Peace, love, one thing leads into another
Dream big, aim small, man, you gotta love her
She's got her hopes up, got 'em up to there
Wondering what to wear
[Bridge]
The years went by, the mirror saw her cry
She got up again
She got up again
The wind blew by the small town lights
She got up again
Move out, find out where the world can take her
Bright lights, late nights, living for the greater
Move to Paris, living on a prayer
[Chorus]
Peace, love, one thing leads into another
Dream big, aim small, man, you gotta love her
She's got her hopes up, got 'em up to there
She's got her hopes up, got 'em up to there
Wonderin' what to wear, ooh-ooh
Wonderin' what to wear
