When Will My Life Begin?

When Will My Life Begin - Mandy Moore

Written by：Alan Irwin Menken/Glenn Evan Slater

Seven A.M. the usual morning line-up

Start on the chores and sweep 'till the floor's all clean

Polish and wax do laundry and mop and shine up

Sweep again and by then it's like seven-fifteen

And so I'll read a book

Or maybe two or three

I'll add a few new paintings to my gallery

I'll play guitar and knit and cook and basically

Just wonder when will my life begin

Then after lunch it's puzzles and darts and baking

Paper mache a bit of ballet and chess

Pottery and ventriloquy candle-making

Then I'll stretch

Maybe sketch

Take a climb

Sew a dress

And I'll be reread the books if I have time to spare

I'll paint the walls some more

I'm sure there's room somewhere

And then I'll brush and brush

And brush and brush my hair

Stuck in the same place I've always been

And I'll keep wonderin'

And wonderin'

And wonderin'

And wonderin'

When will my life begin

Tomorrow night

The lights will appear

Just like they do on my birthday each year

What is it like

Out there where they glow

Now that I'm older

Mother might just let me go
