Back
She Used To Sing (Another Look At Mother) listen to a sample mp3 look at the score
Hard to believe that she used to sing
When she tucked you into bed
Hard to believe that she used to laugh
And her hair was sunset red

Hard to believe she was ever young
That she tasted any joy
Hard to believe that her heart could melt
In the arms of any boy 		Her life was not a hard one
She lived quite well
And why she's grown so bitter
Is more than I can tell

Hard to believe that you loved her so
For she's grown so mean and small
Seeing her now you just can't believe
That she ever sang at all
