Lullaby In Blue - Lyrics by Bette Midler


Lyrics
I know that I'm no saint.

My head is in the clouds.

They called you a mistake,
but I still, I still say your name out loud.


They called me a stupid girl,
just like my mom.

Too many men passed through my arms.

At seventeen I looked into your eyes,
knew I could never comfort your cries.

Every April still reminds me of you.

The child I never knew.

My lullaby in blue.


It all goes by so fast.

How lovely you must be.

Why you've reached the age at last
that I was when your daddy lived with me.


How I wish we could meet somewhere,
talk it through.

There is so much I would say to you.

There are others, I'm not alone.
A younger brother you've never known,
and a baby girl who so reminds me of you.

The child I never knew.

My lullaby in blue.


As the years go by,
try not to think of us sadly.

Believe it if you can,
I wanna see you so badly.

On your birthday, Mama's thinking of you.

The child I never knew.

My lullaby in blue.

My lullaby in blue.

My lullaby . . .
