The Florida sunshine melts every memory
of New York snow
And lights up the dust on Grandma’s piano
Mis-matched picture frames tell of days gone by
With brush in her tiny hand she’s about to try
To make that special wave that grandma used to wear
They step behind the mirror wrinkled fingers in blond hair
And she says...
Chorus
Child you look just like me the resemblance is undeniable
Yes it’s clear that we’re family
I’m so glad you came to share my days
Because in one and a million ways
My precious child you look just like me
The LA sunshine mocks her empty arms
and broken womb
As her husband drives her home from the delivery room
A careless doctor took her right to be a mother
For years his words would haunt her
You will never have another
But now she takes this child who’s not her flesh and bone
She holds him to her heart
And when they’re all alone she says..
These scars upon my back
from this cross I’ve tried to carry
The kiss of the betrayer in the times when I stood true
And these blisters on my feet from
when I walked the straight and narrow
Are worth it all ‘cause one day I’ll see you
And you’ll say...
