Mitzi's Lullaby
[Verse]
- I never had a mother, but I love her just the same,
- I don't know where I got myself, not even my own name
- I thought I once heard someone say, "I have my papa's face,"
- He left me nothing but a mark, in a most peculiar place,
- and yet when things go wrong,
- from the past comes this old song
[Burthen]
- Nestle close to mother
- darling have no fear
- She can, as no other,
- kiss away each tear,
- Always there to cheer you
- as the years roll on
- She'll be ever near you,
- ever when she's gone
- Nestle close to mother
- darling have no fear
- She can, as no other
- kiss away each tear,
- Always there to cheer you
- as the years roll on,
- She'll be ever near you,
- even when she's gone
- Always there to cheer you
- as the years roll on
- She'll be ever near you
- even when she's gone.
