Dolly's Favourite

It was at my parents house In the backyard where I thought about What I was gonna sing At my mum's friend's daughter's wedding And as I played around Preparing songs for a crowd My mum came outside and sat down Oooh oooh oooh So I played her that one song I've been loving now for so long And I can see it in her eyes Won't take long now 'till she cries The song's about a mother's love I guess me singing to her made her think of us Oooh oooh oooh And then before we know it The door rings and it opens Because she never waits for us I hear her inside calling And soon her cheek on my cheek She joins us outside by the grass And my mum said won't you play again For us So I played the song for her The first the second the third verse A smile was on her face And tears in the same place And afterwards she tells me then How special it was for the two of them One day you'll understand I knew exactly what she meant Oooh oooh oooh Because before you know it You'll have your own little kid And be a mother of your own And I remember thinking I cannot wait 'till they meet Wouldn't have thought that she'd be gone But I'll make sure when they hear your name They'll know Oooh oooh oooh Few months later it got colder And not long after we knew It was this song that we chose For when we said goodbye to you And I heard it was Dolly's favourite Recently in an interview And I was happy when I made it All the way through For you Oooh oooh oooh Oooh oooh oooh Oooh oooh oooh Oooh oooh oooh
