歌词
You used to hold my hand
So I wouldn't have to cross the street alone
No matter how small, you came to every damn school show
Always in the front row
I used to play pretend for hours
And you'd never question why
You said I had an imagination that could help me fly
And I was gonna be alright
Growing up they used say that I had your eyes
They're green until they're grey under stormy skies
Like clouds in sunshine
Maybe one day, it'll make sense to me
Why I got my mother's eyes to see
And why I need my mother's laugh to breathe
Maybe one day, I might understand why
Why I insist on counting clouds in the sky
Maybe one day, I might get what it means
To love someone unconditionally
Because that's what my mother does for me
You used to sing this song every morning
When you woke me up for school
I miss it now that I'm older and onto something new
I'm just as stubborn, just as quick and just as proud as you
You say it's like arguing with a younger version of you
You made me watch the Princess Bride at least a hundred times
I'll never really get why, but it makes you smile
Maybe one day, it'll make sense to me
Why I got my mother's eyes to see
And why I need my mother's laugh to breathe
Maybe one day, I might understand why
Why I insist on counting clouds in the sky
Maybe one day, I might get what it means
To love someone unconditionally
Maybe one day, it'll make sense to me
Why I got my mother's eyes to see
And why I need my mother's laugh to breathe
Maybe one day, I might get what it means
To love someone unconditionally
Because that's what my mother does for me
