Mother’s Lullaby

There's a story that I meant to tell you
How you came to be and how I held you
How you smiled at me the very first day
How you made my life in every way
How I love you girl
Make me want to fly
On the darkest day you didn't ask why

You knew it too
You knew it too
And now I'm aching for you

There's a saying which I meant to teach you
How to face the things that try to beat you
How to glance at things without a tired eye
How to smile though your fear builds inside
And you took from me all you had to take
Now you're looking for the great escape

You knew it too
You knew it too
And now I'm aching for you

Oh Oh
Oh Oh

Take a part of me you'll never see anything
You had it all and now you say oh I'm scared

Oh you said to me you're never going to try
As I held you close with a wink in my eye

You knew it too
You knew it too
And now I'm aching for you
