Story Behind The Song

Momma, he's Tall!

Lyrics

Tall Song
By Floramay Holliday

When I was a girl my momma told me
Sister, love will come eventually
True love is so rare to find
These three rules will help you see

He's gotta be tall, cool, calm and collected
With a spiritual religion
He's gotta wanna waltz you across Texas
Cause Texas is where you belong

So I wrote it in my book of poems
When love was lost, I made a song
Turned my head to find the years were gone
This prince my momma was speaking of
I prayed to fit like a hand in glove
Surely I was made for true love

The moon was full one summer night
The band was playing "I Saw the Light"
He turned to me and asked for my hand
And like lightning from the Lord above
We waltzed the floor on the wings of a dove
Looks like lucky love might have a chance

I don't know if we're going somewhere
All I know is I'm dancing on air
It shows by the light in your eye
And I know, I know?

Daddy, I'm tall, cool, calm and collected
I've got a spiritual religion
And I will waltz with you across Texas
Cause Texas is where we belong
