Tuesday Tunes

Last Tuesday after I'd already posted my tune for the day, I read Erin Cobb's blog The Pigbear and knew I *HAD* to share this song with you. I listened to the interview/song and then I looked up the lyrics. It's a song written for the artist mother, but when I heard it I thought of both of my parents. It also made me think about the day that I'll become a parent. I'll always cherish the red threads in my life.

I was only a girl when I went out on my own
You wrapped me up warm and just let me go
Now I live at the far end of this long distance line
And I'm just another one who's gone and left you behind

Wish we could look at your pictures all the places you've been
I don't think you will but you can see them again
'Cause you can see them through me the brown eyes I got from you
Now I wish I could give 'em back to you

This much I can say, this much I can do
When your heart is empty I'll try to fill it for you
'Cause I'm the girl who learned to love from watching you

Wish that I could tell you it'll all be all right
But you never did believe it through the trials of your life
You and I both know it just isn't true
When so much you love has been taken from you

I remember when you told me if we run out of time
How happy you were just to know she'll be mine
When I wrap her up warm you'll be right next to me
'Cause they say that the red thread that ties me to you ies her to me

This much I can say this much I can do
When your heart is empty I'll try to fill it for you
This much I can say this much I can do
When your heart is empty I'll try to fill it for you
'Cause I'm the girl who learned to love
From watching you... watching you... watching you
