Mother Songtext
von Tiny Tim

So many words, so many songs
So many songs to sing
I could laugh and clown and hi-de-hi-de-ho
But I′d rather sing a simple thing
There are songs that don't appeal to everyone
They sing them from the start
But the song I sing, the song I bring
Must be from the heart

Let others sing about the moon
As long as I can croon a tune
Oh mother, mother, I′ll sing about you
Though buds may bloom and snow may fall
As long as I can sing at all
Oh mother, I'll sing about you


You're the one who never would deny me
The thrill of your song
You′re the one who used to rock-a-bye me
When evenings were long
So let the whole world laugh at me
As long as I can bend my knee
Oh mother, I′ll sing about you

Let others sing about the moon
As long as I can croon a tune
Oh mother, mother, I'll sing about you
Though buds may bloom and snow may fall
As long as I can sing at all
Oh mother, I′ll sing about you

You're the one who never would deny me
The thrill of your charms
You′re the one who used to rock-a-bye me
When evenings were long
So let the whole world laugh at me
As long as I can bend my knee
Oh mother, I'll sing about you
