My mother kissed my father much
But still, she'd give me one that I could save
I kept its warmth until my lunch, to get me through the day as I needed ooo
And my mother had an angel voice
It rings through every pew still in St. James'
An alto song to fill the void and cure a boy in pain as he listened
Nothing's changed, I'm older but I'm just as lost
'Cause I'm still the altar boy that ran your way
To embrace your gown and pray that you wouldn't leave me
Such love I felt when looked upon
By love itself could make my father cry
Your small, but treasured gift from God
And with your husband's eyes, feels he's missing
Oo yes he does, yes he does oo
God it's strange to wander and to wonder thee
Will my mother be the one met at the gate
Is it fate I'm so afraid that I won't make it
And my mother kissed my brother much
But still, she'd leave me one that I could save
I've kept a pocket empty since
To get me through the day
'Cause I need it
