Do you remember when I was a baby
Did I cry, did I cry?
I only remember the days I was laughin'
When you sang me sweet lullabies
When you sang me sweet bye and byeBut sometimes I wonder if you were an angel
Would you fly, would you fly
Or would you just hover right here by my side
Keepin' me warm and dry
Keepin' me safe by your sideMother mother won't fall from grace
Light a room with the lines on your face
And if you were a river run dry
Well I'd sing you sweet bye and byeAn' all of the birds that land on my window
Sing your name, sing your name
When all of the time I am cryin' again
About how much the sky likes to rain
When I should be singin' your nameMother, mother won't fall from grace
Light a room with the lines on your face
And if you were a river run dry
Well I'd sing you sweet bye and byeAn' all of the flowers by the side of the road
They whisper your name while they grow
And if you were a river run dry
Well I'd sing you sweet bye and byeAnd if you were a river run dry
Well I'd sing you sweet bye and bye
