Lyrics

She Slipped Away
By Jim Reedy and Brandon Bailey


She slipped away
On a cold winter's morn,
Pulled on her winter coat,
Snow fell on the floor
She couldn't keep
From shedding a tear,
She knew the time to leave
Was finally here.

She said her goodbyes
And gently closed the door.
Without a word of warning
The family was torn.
She knew that she had to go
And let her life unfold.
And find the rainbow
That waited for her soul.


CHORUS

Some girls are happy
To live their life at home,
Just like their mothers
And some need to roam
But she has her dreams
Her plans and her schemes
And now she is leaving her home.


She disappeared
As they had feared,
Mother cried out to Father,
"I've lost my baby here."
They felt the sting
That rejection always brings,
And them not knowing
Would drive them to tears.

CHORUS

Some girls are happy
To live their life at home,
Just like their mothers
And some need to roam
But she has her dreams
Her plans and her schemes
And now she is leaving her home

Ooo Ooo.

"She Slipped Away" is an excellent song about a girl leaving her home, heading out in the world to make her own path. Very unique concept. Great performances and arrangements. This song could fit in the exact, right sync situation.
