Lullaby in Blue

I know that I'm no saint
My head is in the clouds
They called you a mistake
But I still, I still say your name out loud

They called me a stupid girl just like my mom
Too many men passed through my arms
At seventeen I looked into your eyes
Knew I could never comfort your cries
Every April still reminds me of you

The child I never knew
My lullaby in blue

It all goes by so fast
How lovely you must be
Why you've reached the age at last
That I was when your daddy lived with me

How I wish we could meet somewhere, talk it through
There is so much I would say to you
There are others, I'm not alone
A younger brother, you've never known
And a baby girl, who so reminds me of you

The child I never knew
My lullaby in blue

As the years go by, try not to think of us sadly
Believe it if you can, I wanna see you so badly
On your birthday, Mama's thinking of you

The child I never knew
My lullaby in blue

My lullaby in blue
My lullaby
