Measure of a Mom Lyrics

Breaking of dawn

Before birds find their song

Before your dream is done

She will rise

Trying hard to be quiet

In ten minutes she'll be your alarm

Candle lit and kettle on

Only when your bath is drawn

When she is here you're safe from harm

My dear

That's the measure of a mom

April has come

And she looks for the sun

Rain on a window pane

Keeps you warm

In the eye of a storm

Keeping all bad dreams away

Deep asleep in your cocoon

Drawing power from the moon

As she tip-toes across your room

To say

"It's time to wake up soon"

Deep asleep in your cocoon

Drawing power from the moon

As she tip-toes across your room

To say

"Candle's lit and kettle's on"

She tells you the bath is drawn

I know it's hard

But please come on

My son

My son

Your life's only begun
