Sweet cosmos in a pink shadow
In the warm daylight you glow
Just like my Mama
Bathed in a gentle yellow
She is fragile,
I love her so
Together we sit in the sun
We turn album pages one by one
Mama tells me stories like it's the end
She tells them like we'll never meet again
And on this warm autumn day we stand
Mother, daughter hand in hand
Our love burns brighter than before
And then you tell me to take care
Tell me not to fear
Tomorrow, my wedding, my leaving here
Take care
Memories are running round and round
How I wish I could go back now
To the times I didn't realise your love
To the times I kept to myself
Leaving with my many bags
I can tell from your eyes you are sad
That I must go, but it is time
It is time
My love, my love, will stay behind
And on this warm autumn day we stand
Mother, daughter hand in hand
Our love burns brighter than before
And then you tell me to take care
Tell me not to fear
Tomorrow, my wedding, my leaving here
Take care
In the warm daylight you glow
Just like my Mama
Bathed in a gentle yellow
She is fragile,
I love her so
Together we sit in the sun
We turn album pages one by one
Mama tells me stories like it's the end
She tells them like we'll never meet again
And on this warm autumn day we stand
Mother, daughter hand in hand
Our love burns brighter than before
And then you tell me to take care
Tell me not to fear
Tomorrow, my wedding, my leaving here
Take care
Memories are running round and round
How I wish I could go back now
To the times I didn't realise your love
To the times I kept to myself
Leaving with my many bags
I can tell from your eyes you are sad
That I must go, but it is time
It is time
My love, my love, will stay behind
And on this warm autumn day we stand
Mother, daughter hand in hand
Our love burns brighter than before
And then you tell me to take care
Tell me not to fear
Tomorrow, my wedding, my leaving here
Take care
