She did so well, so very well, and did without so long
She trusted in her skill, she thought she was strong
But she grew tired of feeling so beat down
And she recalled the time she owned a cranberry gown

Maybe it was the time to buy something cheery
A dress so sublime it could make her feel less weary
Like that cranberry gown, the one she had before
Just dreaming of it made her dance across the floor

CHORUS:
Oh, what a color, to make people stare
It made walking on earth feel like dancing on air
And she outshone the star of the County Down
When she stepped out in her cranberry gown

She did so well, so very well, when life had knocked her down
Along the way she had to sell her beautiful gown
But now she was marching through the Thrifty Saver’s door
To find herself a dress like the one she once wore

She searched displays and long racks, though dresses of black and brown
Through stacks and stacks of shapeless sacks, she found a rumpled gown
It was just her size and just the right flavor
She was wearing that dress when she left the Thrifty Saver

CHORUS
There she goes, the prettiest girl in town
Stepping out in her cranberry gown

She swayed and swirled through the hustle and bustle
And when she twirled the gown gave such a rustle
If dresses could speak, it’d say “don’t we look fine”
And she’d answer it back, “We look simply divine.”

Now whenever she goes out into the world today
To work or to walk about, or just to play
In everyday clothes of maybe black or brown
Her heart is still wearing the cranberry gown

CHORUS
