A Mother's Touch

When I get like you when I'm losing my temper

Or look in the mirror and count all my freckles

I'm wondering, how can I miss someone I don't remember?

And when I think I see you in one of my daydreams Or try on your clothes that you wore in the eighties

I wish could reminisce, hold on to some kind of memory

I wish I could know what

Makes you wanna cry

How your laugh sounds and if we look alike How it feels when

You kiss me goodnight

Wish I'd know

Just what you would say if

You could see me now du

Would you hold me and tell me that you're proud Am I different

Than if you'd been around

Wish I'd known all the love

Of a mother's touch

I heard so many stories, you've turned into fiction

I've made up some more so you'll fit my description

I wonder if maybe it's better to never know all of the things I've been missing?

I wish I could know what

Makes you wanna cry

How your laugh sounds and if we look alike How it feels when

You kiss me goodnight

Wish I'd know

Just what you would say if

You could see me now du

Would you hold me and tell me that you're proud Am I different

Than if you'd been around

Wish I'd known all the love

Of a mother's touch
