Marie - Music and Lyric by Steve Bell
Travelling over time
Keeping the best in mind
There’s a woman I’ve known
And I’ve called her my own for the longest time
The way she could sing a song
And bid me to sing along
With the voice of an angel
And a heart that enabled the best in me
There’s a long road to the place she’s living now
But it still seems as though she’s always been around
Loving me tenderly
How else can a mother be
I will always be her child
‘til there’s no longer a breath in me
It seems just like yesterday
While watching her children play
She put down her book
And she gave me a look I remember still
She said with her hand in mine
Will you be always mine
And will you still love me
Even when I am old and grey
There’s a long road to the place she’s living now
But it still seems as though she’s always been around
Loving me tenderly
How else can a mother be
I will always be her child
There’s no distance in the miles
I will always be her child
‘til there’s no longer a breath in me
