My Mother

Look at the pictures hanging in the hallway
Oh, what a smile I had when I was young

I love all the lines up and down all the doorways
Maybe I'll sing you my favorite song
That my mom made up

Life will get easy when you get older
Or so I thought

Sure, you can drink
You can do what you want to
Baby, but you can't have it all

Come on, children, can you focus?
Things keep falling apart

Sure, you can fix what has been broken
But you have to smile when you're in love
