Apron Strings

Apron strings
Hanging empty crazy things
My body tells me
I want someone to tie to my
Apron strings
Apron strings
Waiting for you pretty things
That I could call you
I want someone to tie to my
Lonely apron strings.
Your baby looks just like you when you were young
And he looks at me with eyes that shine
And I wish that he were mine
Then I go home
To my Apron strings
Cold and lonely,
For time brings thoughts that only
Will be quiet when someone clings to my apron strings.
And Ill be perfect in my own way
When you cry
I will be there
Ill sing to you and comb your hair
All your troubles
I will share
For apron strings
Can be used for other things
Than what theyre meant for and youd be happy wrapped in my
Apron strings
Youd be happy wrapped in my
Apron strings
