The Story of My Life

I was born in 71

Policeman dad and a yodelling mum

Got no brother sister ties

I'm an only child

Nana sang to me on the swing

Made me laugh with her tickling

Took the stage at the age of 3

It was mum and me

I remember when I would fall asleep

Under mums fur coat back stage

How the sound of her voice would comfort me

And I guess that nothings changed

So here I am before you now still trying to get it right

That's the story that's the story of my life

17 I was fashion queen

It was great lycra tights were in

I would sew for half the night

Just to look right

Met a man he was everything

Broke my heart

I was 20 then

Had to learn how to be strong

How to move on

I remember when I cried all night

When my dog Rhoda died

And at 15 when I lost my Nan

She said God was by her side

So here I am before you now

Still trying to get it right

That's the story that's the story of my life

I remember the way he looked at me

When I walked on down the aisle

And how I cried those happy tears

When I became his wife

And yet here I am before you now

Still trying to get it right

That's the story that's the story of my life

I was born in 71

Policeman dad and a yodelling mum

I am proud of where I'm from

And who I've become
