When I Was A Mother

When I was a mother

We drove across the country

Singing songs along the way

I'd be talking to you

Every place we went to

I'd ask you were you doing okay

Okay

When I was a mother

And you my best kept secret

A smile I tried to hide on my face

Like the cat that ate the canary

The sun was shining in me

Every night on the stage

Hey

Running against time

I never knew

I'd wake up from a dream come true

When you were mine

Before I knew

When you've got everything

You've everything to lose

When I was a mother

We drove across the country

Singing songs along the way
