Lullaby In Blue

I know that I'm no saint
My head is in the clouds
They called you a mistake
But I still say your name out loud
They called me a stupid girl
Just like my mom
Too many men passed through my arms
At seventeen I looked into your eyes
Knew I could never comfort your cries
Every April still reminds me of you
The child I never knew
My lullaby in blue

It all goes by so fast
How lovely you must be
Why you've reached the age at last
That I was when your daddy lived with me
How I wish we could meet somewhere
Talk it through
There is so much I would say to you
There are others, I'm not alone
A younger brother you've never known
And a baby girl who so reminds me of you
The child I never knew
My lullaby in blue

As the years go by
Try not to think of us sadly
Believe it if you can
I want to see you so badly
On your birthday, Mama's thinking of you
The child I never knew
My lullaby in blue
My lullaby in blue
My lullaby
