Lothar Reese - My Mother Lyrics

She sang so movingly
For an imaginary audience
Accompanied her singing
With conducting gestures
A moment of bliss

The lyrics flowed like rivers
Heartwarming, rich and true
She was so enchanting there
A light shone through

She was the girl again
Who with her mother
Sitting in the parlor and singing
The sister played the accordion
Her father played the harmonica

And when she closed her eyes
She was not alone
The music brought her back
To a place she had always known
A light, a room, a song
Where she could really be
Conducting her own symphony
With a gentle melody

The songs came with lyrics
Heart-warming devotion
She was so enchanting to look at
Sometimes she lit up as she sang
With a lamp into her own world

She was the girl again
Who sat with her mother
Sitting in the parlor and singing
Her sister played the accordion
Her father played the harmonica

The songs came full of stories
Devotion warm and deep
She lit up as she sang
In a world she'd always keep
