Nanci Griffith - Goodnight To A Mother's Dream Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Flippin' bottle caps through the ring around the moon
  • All alone on a Saturday night with the stars in bloom
  • I am a vision of my mother's dream come true
  • Built this house out in the hills
  • All by my own will
  • I've got love enough for two
  • But 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 taken
  • The one thought not worth breakin'
  • I am the late blooming rose
  • With only her mother's dream to hold
  • On this less travelled road
  • Who really knows
  • ...Maybe the hearts not taken
  • Are truly made of gold
  • I'm gonna flip one more bottle cap up at the moon
  • I've got an early call with so much work to do
  • But, when I go inside I'm gonna let my back door slam
  • Mother, to tell you the truth
  • I would trade your dream away
  • Just to hear some loved one say
  • I love you, too
  • (repeat chorus)
  • (tag)
  • Say goodnight to the moon
  • I'll say I love you to the moon...
  • And to my mother too
  • 'Buenos suenos' to the moon
