lyrics

I watch my mother fold the sheets for me
I see the wrinkles on her hands and see
All the love that she holds can be
Seen in the lines around her knuckles

Who is gonna lay you down?
Who is gonna turn the lights out
Just like our Mothers and our Fathers prayed about?
Oh I want to love you like that

My father does it very well
Never shy with giving up his help
I can see it in those eyes he gives
That he will never let me fall too far from him

I want the love that I give to be evident in my appearance
So in the end there will be no doubt that my love ever existed
