I Wonder Lyrics
Sometimes I think about you
Wonder if you’re out there somewhere thinking bout me
And would you even recognize
The woman that your little girl has grown up to be
Cause I look in the mirror and all I see
Are your brown eyes lookin back at me
They’re the only thing you ever gave to me at all
Oh, I hear the weather’s nice in California
There’s sunny skies as far I can see
If you ever come back home to Carolina
I wonder what you’d say to me
I think about how it aint fair
That you weren’t there to braid my hair
Like mothers do
You weren’t around to cheer me on
Help me dress for my high school prom
Like mothers do
Did you think I didn’t need you here
To hold my hand
To dry my tears
Did you even miss me through the years at all
Oh, I hear the weather’s nice in California
There’s sunny skies as far I can see
If you ever come back home to Carolina
I wonder what you’d say to me
Forgiveness is such a simple word
But it’s so hard to do when you’ve been hurt
Oh, I hear the weather’s nice in California
And just in case you’re wondering about me
For now on I won’t be in Carolina
Your little girl is off
Your little girl is off
Your little girl is off to Tennessee
Wonder if you’re out there somewhere thinking bout me
And would you even recognize
The woman that your little girl has grown up to be
Cause I look in the mirror and all I see
Are your brown eyes lookin back at me
They’re the only thing you ever gave to me at all
There’s sunny skies as far I can see
If you ever come back home to Carolina
I wonder what you’d say to me
That you weren’t there to braid my hair
Like mothers do
You weren’t around to cheer me on
Help me dress for my high school prom
Like mothers do
Did you think I didn’t need you here
To hold my hand
To dry my tears
Did you even miss me through the years at all
There’s sunny skies as far I can see
If you ever come back home to Carolina
I wonder what you’d say to me
But it’s so hard to do when you’ve been hurt
And just in case you’re wondering about me
For now on I won’t be in Carolina
Your little girl is off
Your little girl is off
Your little girl is off to Tennessee

I sometimes wonder if this song was wrote just for me cause I can really relate to it, but with my father instead of my mom. The only thing my father ever gave was my brown eyes and I'm constantly wondering what he would say to me and if he would even recognize me if I saw him. And it relates even more since I live in South Carolina. But this is a really good song.
I was adopted before I was born and this song means a lot to me, in a way it feels like my mom was a hero for having the courage to give me up for adoption, and live in a nice family. Then it makes me mad because it feels like everytime I love someone they can give me up. or not love me anymore. Then it feels like I am closer to my adoptive family, becuase God chose them to be my family.
i really love this song. And i can also pretty much just like the user "ifyouleave" relates to it. Because i have brown eyes and that's the only thing my biological dad ever gave to me. And every day i winder about him. i've never met him but i still want to know him. and this song is pretty much exactly what i think.
I LOVE THIS SONG...the video could have shown a little more emotion..no? the song is pretty self-explanatory..she never had her mom there..kinda wonders what might have been or just plain WHY?
I've loved country music for so long...and I strayed for a little while. But I watched the CMA's last night and broke down into tears when Kellie sang this song. So powerful. Her mother left her when she was 2...and she co-wrote this song about her estranged mom. She's so strong for growing up through all that. I can't imagine not having my mom around, I've needed her so much. But the song is amazing, especially with her voice and I needed to comment.
wow this relates to both of my parents...just change one state to Florida and the to Arizona...it so crazy how you could leave your child for no reason
this song is about kellie picklers mother who abandoned her
kellie's dad was in jail and her mom abandoned her when she was two so she lives with her grandfather
i've never met my biological father.
that first stanza: "Sometimes I think about you Wonder if you’re out there somewhere thinkin' 'bout me And would you even recognize the woman that your little girl has grown up to be ‘Cause I look in the mirror and all I see are your brown eyes lookin' back at me They’re the only thing you ever gave to me at all"
sums up exactly how i feel. :( he's in federal prison 5 states away. i almost resent him for being so careless about his life, and throwing away what he could have had. now i'm stuck with a horrible step-father, and i wish for my biological father at times, even though i don't even know what he's like. in my heart, i feel like he'd be my savior, and treat us right.
im not allowed to have contact with him at this point, being so young, but i do hope one day i'm able to meet him. i hope when i do, im not disappointed or regret it due to him being a criminal, or not the person i imagined but until then.. i have songs like this :(
I listen to this song and feel like crying every time. I have had both my parents my whole life, so I can't relate, but it really makes me think and want to thank my parents for the best 13 years anyone could ask for. I am fullfilling my dream one step at a time, and they will always be there. If you are as lucky as me, be sure to thank the man and woman who are doing their best with you every day. they deserve at least that.
