| This is to mother you, |
| To comfort you and get you through, |
| Through when your nights are lonely, |
| Through when your dreams are only blue, |
| This is to mother you. |
| |
| This is to be with you, |
| To hold you and to kiss you, too, |
| For when you need me, I will do |
| What your own mother didn't do. |
| This is to mother you. |
| |
| All the pain that you have known, |
| All the violence in your soul, |
| All the "wrong" things you have done, |
| I will take from you when I come. |
| All mistakes made in distress, |
| All your unhappiness, |
| I will take away with my kiss, |
| I will give you tenderness. |
| |
| For child, I am so glad I've found you. |
| Although my arms have always been around you, |
| Sweet bird, although you did not see me, |
| I saw you. |
| |
| And I'm here to mother you, |
| To comfort you and get you through, |
| Through when your nights are lonely, |
| Through when your dreams are only blue, |
| This is to mother you. |
