Queen Of Hearts

By A. Gerber & R. Hutchinson

It was a very hard year
Dad went away
We hoped you could stay for a while
You are part of me I brought light to your life
It’s easy to see how we are alike

Oh Mama Where has it gone?
Did you think that closing your eyes and self sacrifice
Would let the dream live on?
I remember the days
Of smothering love I could never be cold with you as a glove
Beautiful hands Holding the cards
Did you ever know you were our queen of hearts?

Oh mama
You came so far
From ashes to riches, your hats and your shoes
You battled the blues and knew how to live with flair.
Like grains of time
Slipping through the glass
We chase after stars, they fly by so fast.
The summer is gone
Leaves fall to our hands
We hold on to our dreams as long as we can.
Oh Mama What can we do?
Happy endings, Hollywood schemes , on big silver screens for you
Could not come true.

Oh mama We knocked on wood.
With laughter and pride, sadness denied
We tried and did the best we could.
Oh mama
We tried and tried and did the best we could.
Oh mama
Oh mama
We laughed, we cried we knocked on wood.
Oh mama
Oh Mama
Did you ever know you were our queen of hearts?
Oh mama did you ever know? Oh mama oh mama
