Mother Dearest

Sing me a song, weathered old croon.

A balled as old and ancient as you.

Something with love, and mercy; dragon's galore!

Sing me a song like that tune.

Sing me a song beast of my dreams.

A lullaby to lull me to sleep.

I can't recall the words of it all,

But you're voice began to make it sound neat.

Sing me a song Mother dearest,

one where you never leave.

A balled or two, of a love so true.

Something that makes me believe. 

I'll sing you a song Momma.

As you close your eyes for good.

It should sound familiar, it's okay if you don't remember,

I will, and that's all we should.

Now I sing to you Mommy,

I'll croon away in black.

How rude a young son to his mother.

One he shall not get back.
