It's been a long sleepless dream. Do you know what I mean? But then no one knows better than you. And however I try, not even I can put it all together right

If only I could have known before I was grown, I would have been there by her side to help things along, to give them a song, to sing three sweet babies good night

To wake up and discover not only has my mother come true; to three sisters I'm a brother. Now just how does that sound to you? Well it suits me just fine, and it's about time. I am beside myself with this love. I cried for a sign, and I cried through the night until finally it did shine

To wake up and discover not only has my mother come true; to three sisters I'm a brother. Now just how does that sound to you? Well it suits me just fine, and it's about time. I am beside myself with this love. I cried for a sign, and I cried through the night until finally it did shine
