Lullaby In Blue

I know that I am no saint

My head is in the clouds

They called you a mistake

But I still I still say your name outloud

They called me stupid girl, just like my mom

To many men have passed through my arms

At seventeen I looked into your eyes

Knew I could never comfort your cries

Every April reminds me of you

The child I never new

My lullabye 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 lullabye in blue

As the years go by

Try not to think of the sadly

But even if you can’t

I want to see you so badly

On your birthday

Mommas thinking of you

The child I never knew

My lullabye in blue

My lullabye in blue

My lullabye
