This is to mother you
|
To comfort you and get you through
|
Through when your nights are lonely
|
Through when your dreams are only blue
|
This is to mother you
|
|
This is to be with you
|
To hold you and to kiss you too
|
For when you need me I will do
|
What your own mother didn't do
|
Which is to mother you
|
|
All the pain that you have known
|
All the violence in your soul
|
All the wrong things you have done
|
I will take from you when I come
|
|
All mistakes made in distress
|
All your unhappiness
|
I will take away with my kiss
|
Yes I will give you tenderness
|
|
For child I am so glad I found you
|
Although my arms have always been around you
|
Sweet bird although you did not see me
|
I saw you
|
|
And I'm here to mother you
|
To comfort you and get you through
|
Through when your nights are lonely
|
Through when your dreams are only blue
|
This is to mother you
|
