This is to mother youThis is to be with youTo hold you and to kiss you tooFor when you need me I will doWhat your own mother didn't doWhich is to mother you
All the pain that you have knownAll the violence in your soulAll the 'wrong' things you have doneI will take from you when I comeAll mistakes made in distressAll your unhappinessI will take away with my kiss, yesI will give you tendernessFor child I am so glad I've found you
Although my arms have always been around youSweet bird although you did not see meI saw you And I'm here to mother youTo comfort you and get you throughThrough when your nights are lonelyThrough when your dreams are only blueThis is to mother you
