Bette Midler — Lullaby in Blue

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Post-Chorus] Every April still reminds me of you The child I never knew, my lullaby in blue [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Post-Chorus] And a baby girl who so reminds me of you The child I never knew, my lullaby in blue [Bridge] As the years go by Try not to think of us sadly Believe it if you can I want to see you so badly [Post-Chorus] On your birthday, Mama's thinking of you The child I never knew, my lullaby in blue [Outro] My lullaby in blue My lullaby
