Six Weeks Every Summer - Dottie West[00:00:00]
Written by:Fran Powers[00:00:05]
Hopelessly the ghost of me sinks down into a chair[00:00:13]
And underneath the cushion there's a ribbon from her hair[00:00:25]
Just a crumpled up reminder that my daughter's only here[00:00:37]
For six weeks every summer and Christmas every other year[00:00:48]
The role of part time mother it's the toughest role I play[00:01:01]
Oh my name's up there in neon lights but lord what a price I pay[00:01:12]
Why the only thing it cost was giving up our used to be's[00:01:24]
And my little angel baby by the name of Shelly[00:01:36]
Bravely I step back into my room it's only cheap veneer[00:01:50]
And I die inside till summertime or Christmas time is near[00:02:01]
When up the stairs comes all my prayers yellin' mom it's me I'm here[00:02:13]
For six weeks every summer and Christmas every other year[00:02:24]
Just found a note my baby wrote she left it by the phone[00:02:38]
She knew I'd need some extra strength to make it through the night alone[00:02:51]
It says I'll always love you mama although I'm only here[00:03:03]
For six weeks every summer and Christmas every other year[00:03:15]
Oh I'd gladly give up all my fame if only I could hear[00:03:26]
My Shelly call me mommy every morning of the year[00:03:38]
