Mother Like Mine

She's the sky that holds the clouds She's the lady of the house A blind believer in all I dare to be There's no safer place I've found Than the shoulder of her white night gown Oh I've got the best and the worst of her in me And I'd share her if I could So the wars would all be over 'Cause she'd raise us all as friends And no one would ever wonder if somebody wanted them We'd walk on grass that's greener And our cares would all be freer If the world had a mother like mine She's our father's one great love She's the one he wanted most She's the light in the window of the house I grew up in She takes the midnight call She's the bravest of us all Still she sings in the garden she lets her hair down in Oh the wars would all be over 'Cause she'd raise us all as friends And no one would ever wonder if somebody wanted them Tonight would be easier And our dreams would all be deeper If the world had a mother like mine Don't go away Don't go away from me Oh I understand She is a helping hand Still I have to say She's the sky that holds the clouds She's the lady of our house We all need her But no one more than me Oh the wars would all be over 'Cause she'd raise us all as friends And no one would ever wonder if somebody wanted them We'd walk on grass that's greener And the dishes would all be cleaner If the world had a mother like mine Oo-oo, like mine
