The Song: Me

I recently borrowed a CD from a dear friend, and was shocked to find a song on it that made me want to tear up because it was so effective. I can't even really say what exactly caused it, but perhaps it is because I value the interest with which this mother invests in her children. Perhaps its my own reverse-nostalgia looking forward to a possible future where this could possibly involve me...

Here is the song - enjoy! :)

---------------
Me

I haven't had
 a chance to sleep

And when I wake
, I wake with your dreams

I guess my pillow
 holds some kind of key

To your peace; your peace

Me 
I wouldn't trade your love for all the candy

In this great big world

Me 
I feel so crazy blessed and oh so lucky

To be the place you go

When you need to feel safe

When you need a kiss

It's me

I haven't showered and I tried to eat

But all your tears, oh they needed me

I need some time, some time to think

But then I hear you
And what you need is...

Me 
I wouldn't trade your love for all the candy
In this great big world

Me
 I feel so crazy blessed and oh so lucky

To be the place you go

I wash your face
 to make room for

All the kisses of tomorrow

And every day that I get to be here with you
 is sweet

Me 
I wouldn't trade your love for all the candy

In this great big world

Me 
I feel so crazy blessed and oh so lucky

To be the place you go
 when you need to feel safe

When you need a kiss

Oh don't be afraid

Cause you'll have is....
Me
