Story of how a daughter comes to accept the new mother in her life
Hello,
I am basically a songwriter. I always co-write songs. The completed songs I have are projects done with my other co-writes and musical collaborators. While I do play drums, I do not play in a band because of my work schedule. I hope you will find a song or two that you can relate with and enjoy.
Story behind the song
True Story of a woman who marries into a family where they recently lost their mother.
It's about how the daughter comes to accept her new mother
Lyrics
Mother Today © 2010 Sosnowki/Hopkins
Verse 1
The day we met, I saw my lifelong partner
As he stood in line, buying ice cream with his daughter
A quiet, lovely girl just turning thirteen
But her eyes clearly spoke, she wanted no part of me
Chorus 1:
He said, she’s thinking of her Mother Today
One year ago, God called her away
Her unspoken words said all the rest
My mom was the very best
And I remember how I loved her
I don’t need another Mother.... Today
Verse 2:
Later when we wed, she always kept her distance
Being pushed away never stopped me from my wishing
I’d lie in bed each night, think of what could be
Her Daddy said go slow, ‘cause time has a way with grief
Chorus 2:
He’d say, she still thinks of her Mother Today
But you’ve been here, since God called her away
My unspoken words said all the rest
In my heart I’ve tried by best
Oh, I hoped she’d let me love her
‘Coz she needs another Mother.... Today
Bridge:
A little more time
Some silent bonds
Her college days all came and gone
Then I watched the aisle as she walked down
In her mama’s satin wedding gown
Final Chorus:
(slowly)
Then she…..became a Mother Today
Said, you’re the one who’s shown me the way
Her unspoken words said all the rest
In her heart I’d passed each test
When she handed me her daughter
Said, Baby girl, meet my Mother.... Today
Outro:
Oh, it took my breath away
The thing she could never say…….
My daughter called me Mother Today
