When I was just a little one
My mama used to tell me
Dont loose your head
Youll get there
Life is hard
But not unfair
It wasnt long ago
I learned I have been played for a fool
But I let it go- I let it go
We must keep our spirits High!
Come to me mother
And whisper in my ear
Tomorrow is another day
And soon another year
Its hard to run fast as time slips away
And I didnt begin to love you like I should
Anyway
So pick up those oars
And row madly up the stream
Put more juice in the engine
Let me see a little steam!
Years and years of rowing
Up and down
It seems
To port town to port town
They're trying to find the sea
Come to me mother
I want to know you are near
We're closer than weve ever been
Its never been so clear
Life is too short
Well thats what they say
And I didnt begin to love you like I should
Anyway
Come to me mother
And whisper in my ear
Tomorrow is another day
And soon another year
Its hard to run fast as time slips away
And I didnt begin to love you
Yes I didn't begin to love you yeah
Until I was so far away
I picked those oars
And I rowed madly
Stream to river
River to sea
Till you mother
Whisper to me
Pick up up those oars
And row madly up the stream
Put more juice in the engine
Let me see a little steam
Years and years of rowing
Up and down it seems
To port town to port town
They're trying to find the sea!
Come to me mother
And whisper in my ear
Tomorrow is another day
And soon another year
Its hard to run fast
As time slips away
And I didnt begin to love you like I should
