EVERY MOTHER THINKS OF HER CHILD - Tina

What would I do if I didn't have you 

To wake up to each day 

Who'd take my troubles and put them in bubbles 

And make them burst away 

And where would I find the innocence 

That tells me it's okay

If I didn't have you to wake up to each day

Your father's going to be a little bit jealous 

When the boys come around to call 

And when you don't come home on time 

He'll be pacing up and down the hall 

But that's just a part of growing up 

What could I do anyway

If I didn't have you to wake up to each day

Should I be strict, should I be mean 

Should I teach you discipline 

The times say yes, but I say no 

You'll learn it from within

I know that every mother thinks her child 

Is the prettiest one 

But you've got a smile that can't be refused 

It even brightens up the sun

I wish I could make time stand still and 

Just keep lookin' at you 

But that's something even Old Methuselah wasn't able to do 

I hope you come around to see me 

When I'm feeble, old and gray

Oh, what would I do 

If I didn't have you to wake up to each day
