Goodnight To A Mother S Dream lyrics

Flippin` bottle caps through the ring around the moon
All alone on a Saturday night with the stars in bloom
I am a vision of my mother`s dream come true
Built this house out in the hills
All by my own will
I`ve got love enough for two
But it`s just me and this old moon


(chorus)
And the sailors on the water
...They all want the captain`s daughter
They want her beauty and her youth
To grace their bow out on the sea
Me, I`m getting older and I`m plain
As plain can be
Got a bank full of mother`s dreams
Maybe mother just didn`t see
That love would be the only thing
Her daughter would ever need

(bridge)
Oh, I am the heart not taken
The one thought not worth breakin`
I am the late blooming rose
With only her mother`s dream to hold
On this less travelled road
Who really knows
...Maybe the hearts not taken
Are truly made of gold

I`m gonna flip one more bottle cap up at the moon
I`ve got an early call with so much work to do
But, when I go inside I`m gonna let my back door slam
Mother, to tell you the truth
I would trade your dream away
Just to hear some loved one say
I love you, too

(repeat chorus)

(tag)
Say goodnight to the moon
I`ll say I love you to the moon...
And to my mother too
`Buenos suenos` to the moon
