Mothers and Daughters

She walks a little slower this year

She wears glasses on a chain

I speak up for her to hear

I know how other people see her

But to me she'll always be in 8 mm

Gray hair

Wrinkled lines

All I see is her in 1979

There ain't no such thing as time

When a daughter sees her mother in her mind

When a daughter sees her mother in her mind

The heart is stronger than the eye

I guess all it takes is loving to stop the hand of time

We're still on summer vacation

I can close my eyes and watch it like television

Gray hair

Wrinkled lines

All I see is her in 1979

There ain't no such thing as time

When a daughter sees her mother in her mind

When a daughter sees her mother in her mind

I'm older than I used to be

I remind myself to notice the way they look at me

They don't see what I see in the mirror

When they picture me it couldn't be any clearer

Gray hair, wrinkled lines

All they'll see is me when I was 39

There ain't no such thing as time

When a daughter sees her mother in her mind

I know I'll live forever in their minds

Just like my own mother lives in mine
