All That I Want

I want a gown of diamonds
Long gloves and sweet perfumes
Hats made of silks and satins
Sequins and ostrich plums

I want to wear mascara
Polish my nails real bright
I want to be an actress
Actresses play all night

If I should sneeze, it's a sign
All that I want to will be mine
Oh please, pretty please
Dear nose, make me sneeze

I want to find my true love
Like all the love songs say
I want to do what I want
I want to get my way

Wild dreams grow wise
When sweet childhood flies
Time waved a hand
And the breeze blew the sand from my eyes

I want a gown of kingdom
Diamonds would weigh me down
Pompoms and plums are pretty
If you're a circus clown

Funny how black mascara
Streaks when the tears begin
Nail polish, rouge and powder
Can't paint the sparkle in

Once I was slaved to a sneeze
Now sneezing is just a disease
A rose is a rose
And a nose is just a nose

True love's a phrase for love songs
Real love's a leaving thing
I want the love worth living
I want the things I sing
I want the love worth living
I want the things I sing
