lyrics

They say a wedding’s for a lifetime
but quinceañera is forever
Her father left when she was nine
Now what does she do with never?

She came of age and took some drugs,
woke up and moved back home
She shakes the planet when she shrugs,
carries that weight ‘round all alone

If I could give her anything, I’d give her back 15
but she won’t have what I would bring, so will you go between?

Make a dress and tell her friends
and all real family
There are some wounds that loving mends
Do this for love, for her, for me

If I could give her anything, I’d give her back 15
but she won’t have what I would bring, so will you go between?

She’ll soon be turning 30, so treat her like a queen
Dress her up, make her feel pretty and let her be 15

I wish I could be there
to watch her dance upon the tables
so, when you fix her hair,
tell her I’d come if I were able

She’ll soon be turning 30, so treat her like a queen
Dress her up, make her feel pretty and let her be 15

She’ll soon be turning 30, so treat her like a queen
Dress her up, make her feel pretty and let her be 15
