[00:23.440]She's the sky that holds the clouds
[00:26.860]She's the lady of the house
[00:30.420]A blind believer in all I dare to be
[00:37.130]There's no safer place I've found
[00:40.710]Than the shoulder of her white night gown
[00:44.440]Oh I've got the best and the worst of her in me
[00:50.940]And I'd share her if I could
[00:54.490]So the wars would all be over
[00:58.140]'Cause she'd raise us all as friends
[01:01.700]And no one would ever wonder if somebody wanted them
[01:08.920]We'd walk on grass that's greener
[01:11.920]And our cares would all be freer
[01:15.470]If the world had a mother like mine
[01:32.890]She's our father's one great love
[01:36.200]She's the one he wanted most
[01:39.740]She's the light in the window of the house I grew up in
[01:46.790]She takes the midnight call
[01:50.330]She's the bravest of us all
[01:53.630]Still she sings in the garden she lets her hair down in
[02:00.470]Oh the wars would all be over
[02:04.050]'Cause she'd raise us all as friends
[02:07.580]And no one would ever wonder if somebody wanted them
[02:14.510]Tonight would be easier
[02:17.970]And our dreams would all be deeper
[02:21.410]If the world had a mother like mine
[02:28.420]Don't go away
[02:30.480]Don't go away from me
[02:35.700]Oh I understand
[02:36.940]She is a helping hand
[02:38.900]Still I have to say
[02:44.250]She's the sky that holds the clouds
[02:47.620]She's the lady of our house
[02:51.290]We all need her
[02:53.670]But no one more than me
[02:57.730]Oh the wars would all be over
[03:01.530]'Cause she'd raise us all as friends
[03:04.960]And no one would ever wonder if somebody wanted them
[03:12.380]We'd walk on grass that's greener
[03:15.420]And the dishes would all be cleaner
[03:20.040]If the world had a mother like mine
[03:30.520]Ooh like mine
