Nanci Griffith - Goodnight To A Mother's Dream Lyrics
Flippin' bottle caps through the ring around the moonAll alone on a Saturday night with the stars in bloomI am a vision of my mother's dream come trueBuilt this house out in the hillsAll by my own willI've got love enough for twoBut it's just me and this old moon (chorus) And the sailors on the water ...They all want the captain's daughter They want her beauty and her youth To grace their bow out on the sea Me, I'm getting older and I'm plain As plain can be Got a bank full of mother's dreams Maybe mother just didn't see That love would be the only thing Her daughter would ever need(bridge)Oh, I am the heart not takenThe one thought not worth breakin'I am the late blooming roseWith only her mother's dream to holdOn this less travelled roadWho really knows...Maybe the hearts not takenAre truly made of goldI'm gonna flip one more bottle cap up at the moonI've got an early call with so much work to doBut, when I go inside I'm gonna let my back door slamMother, to tell you the truthI would trade your dream awayJust to hear some loved one sayI love you, too(repeat chorus)(tag)Say goodnight to the moonI'll say I love you to the moon...And to my mother too'Buenos suenos' to the moon
