Little lady on her way to school

Got her bags all packed and waiting

With a sister no one else can see

With all the understanding

Summer girls with infinite I love you's

I love you too

I'll hold you in your sleep

Try to make things better for you and me

When sorry ain't good enough

Fall asleep in these two arms

And I whisper I'm your motherless mother

With sand her toes have disappeared

Arms open wide she's day dreaming

With a sister no one else can see

Playing do you need me

Digging holes so deep the sun don't feel them

I need you too

I'll hold you in your sleep

Try to make things better for you and me

When sorry ain't good enough

Fall asleep in these two arms

And I whisper I'm your motherless mother

And I whisper I'm your motherless mother

They say it's warmer when it's snowing

Cold it hits my heart it hits me running

The bass in my sadness in the morning

They say it's warmer when it's snowing

Cold it hits my heart it hits me running

The bass in my sadness in the morning

I'll hold you in your sleep

Try to make things better for you and me

When sorry ain't good enough

Fall asleep in these two arms

I'll hold you in your sleep

Try to make things better for you and me

When sorry ain't good enough

Fall asleep in these two arms

And I whisper I'm your motherless mother
