Lyrics

When I was young my Aunt Lee
Came around frequently
With jelly donuts just for me
On Sunday mornings
She never called before she came
Which drove my mom and dad insane
But I was drawn like a moth to flame
On Sunday mornings
Lee sang opera at the Met
I was raised on pop
But every chance that we could get
We sang non-stop
Lee, we just got together again
This can't be the end so soon
I know you're ready to call it a day
But I'm selfish enough to want you to stay
You're the only one who remembers the day I was born
You're the only one who remembers my first song
You're the only one who remembers my Grandma's face
You're the only place where I feel safe anymore
Lee had been a rising star
They called her voice a work of art
But when a suitor stole her heart
She took off with him
And by the time she realized
The stage was her whole life
And went back to apologize
They wouldn't listen
With no future at the Met
She turned to teaching class
But decades later her high C
Could still crack glass
Lee, we just got together again
This can't be the end so soon
I know you're ready to call it a day
But I'm selfish enough to want you to stay
You're the only one who remembers the day I was born
You're the only one who remembers my first song
You're the only one who remembers my Grandma's face
You're the only place where I feel safe anymore
When I was young my Aunt Lee
Came around frequently
With jelly donuts just for me
On Sunday mornings
