Sing Me

I got some pictures of us, we're all at the shore

I must've been four then, I couldn't be more

My father was holding me up just for show

My mother was posing like Marilyn Monroe

They taught me a song that I never forgot

It went, little things mean a lot, ooh

Play me one of the songs

And you take me over the fields and farms

When I was a boy and life was a joy

I never got over, mm

Sing me one of the songs

And you've got me, rock me to sleep in your arms

The way that you did when I was a kid

In the summers of clover

Here is another I never did like

When I ran away on that old broken down bike

A new baby brother came home that same day

I guess I just figured I'd be in the way

They bribed me with marbles and chocolate ice cream

And all I have to do is dream, mm

Play me one of the songs

And you take me over the fields and farms

When I was a boy and life was a joy

I never got over, mm

Sing me one of the songs

And you've got me, rock me to sleep in your arms

The way that you did when I was a kid

In the summers of clover

(Take me away)

(Take me away)
