Testo di Six Weeks Every Summer

Hopelessly the ghost of me sinks down into a chair And underneath the cushion there's a ribbon from her hair A crumpled up reminder that my daughter's only here For six weeks every summer Christmas every other year The role of part-time motherthat's the toughest role I play But my name's up there in neon lights but Lord what a price I pay The only thing it cost was giving up our used-to-be's And my little angel baby by the name of Sherrie Bravely I step back into my room but the role I play is only cheap veneer Cause I die inside a little more every day until Christmas or summertime draws near And then up the stairs comes every my prayer yellin' hey mom it's me I'm home For six weeks every summer Christmas every other year I just found a note my baby wrote she left it by the phone She knew I'd need the extra strength to make it through the night alone It says I'll always love you mom although I'm only here For six weeks every summer Christmas every other year
