When I get like you when I'm losing my temper
Or look in the mirror and count all my freckles
I'm wondering, how can I miss someone I don't remember?
And when I think I see you in one of my daydreams Or try on your clothes that you wore in the eighties
I wish could reminisce, hold on to some kind of memory
I wish I could know what
Makes you wanna cry
How your laugh sounds and if we look alike How it feels when
You kiss me goodnight
Wish I'd know
Just what you would say if
You could see me now du
Would you hold me and tell me that you're proud Am I different
Than if you'd been around
Wish I'd known all the love
Of a mother's touch
I heard so many stories, you've turned into fiction
I've made up some more so you'll fit my description
I wonder if maybe it's better to never know all of the things I've been missing?
I wish I could know what
Makes you wanna cry
How your laugh sounds and if we look alike How it feels when
You kiss me goodnight
Wish I'd know
Just what you would say if
You could see me now du
Would you hold me and tell me that you're proud Am I different
Than if you'd been around
Wish I'd known all the love
Of a mother's touch"
