I know that I'm no saint.
|
My head is in the clouds.
|
They called you a mistake,
|
but I still, I still say your name out loud.
|
|
They called me a stupid girl,
|
just like my mom.
|
Too many men passed through my arms.
|
At seventeen I looked into your eyes,
|
knew I could never comfort your cries.
|
Every April still reminds me of you.
|
The child I never knew.
|
My lullaby in blue.
|
|
It all goes by so fast.
|
How lovely you must be.
|
Why you've reached the age at last
|
that I was when your daddy lived with me.
|
|
How I wish we could meet somewhere,
|
talk it through.
|
There is so much I would say to you.
|
There are others, I'm not alone.
|
A younger brother you've never known,
|
and a baby girl who so reminds me of you.
|
The child I never knew.
|
My lullaby in blue.
|
|
As the years go by,
|
try not to think of us sadly.
|
Believe it if you can,
|
I wanna see you so badly.
|
On your birthday, Mama's thinking of you.
|
The child I never knew.
|
My lullaby in blue.
|
My lullaby in blue.
|
My lullaby...
