your mother and i

your mother and i are living apart

i know that seems stupid

but we weren't very smart

you'll stay with her

i'll visit you

at christmas

on weekends

the summertime too

your mother and i are not getting along

somehow somewhere something went wrong

everything changes

time takes it's toll

your folks fell in love

loves a very deep hole

your mother and i will do all we can do

to work this thing out and to take care of you

families get broken

i know it's a shame

it's nobody's fault

you're not to blame

your mother and i are both feeling bad

things will get better

it won't stay this sad

and i hope when you grow up

one day you'll see

your parents are people

that's all we can be

your mother and i
