Farewell With Love by Dee Carstensen
Farewell With Love lyrics
If you�d been born in August
I�d have dressed you in white cotton
I�d have held you to my breast
and kissed you in the sun
if you�d been born to listen
you�d have heard the sweetest music
I�d have whispered every lullaby
that mothers have sung
and had you become older
I�d still have rocked you like a baby
I�d have changed my voice to the stories I�d have read
had you ever asked a question
I�d have answered you in earnest
and then left the hall light on beside your bed
If you�d been born in winter
your cheeks would have warmed like roses
cause I�d have bundled you in goose down
from your head to your toes
and the moment that you smiled
I�d have thought myself the first one
to understand what every mother knows
and had you known your father
you�d have been as proud as I am
you�d have wanted to be with him just as I do now
you might have wanted him to hold me, and console me
and if asked how I�m to live without you
maybe he�d know how
