Heather Dale - A Woman's World lyrics
[Heather Dale - A Woman's World lyrics]
The first thing I remember
Were the sweets my mother gave me
The balls of herbs and honey
That she’d give me when I cried
She laughed a lot, my mother
She was bright, and light, and silly
And I remember how my Daddy smiled so much
Before she died
I like to think if she were here
I’d be a little bolder
I know she’d show me what to do
Each year as I got older
I like to think if she were here
She’d never let me go
And I want to do what she’d do
– but I guess I’ll never know
I’ve never walked in a woman’s world
Where I can make my own choices
If we could walk in a woman’s world
We’d have our own voices have our own lives
I’d be more than a daughter, a mother, a wife
There’s no one to show us
What it’s all about
So I guess we’ll just figure it out
This woman’s world
The first thing I remember
On the day I lost my father
Was that everything was frightening
And my mother shut me out
She never came to find me
Once her life was filled with others
And I knew I couldn’t ask her
What those changes were about
I’m not sure that every mother
Is cut out for sweets and songs
I know you think if yours were here
She would have made you strong
And she wouldn’t pass you over
When a man required it so
I’m glad you learned what that love was
– I guess I’ll never know
I’ve never walked in a woman’s world
Where I can make my own choices
If we could walk in a woman’s world
We’d have our own voices have our own lives
I’d be more than a daughter, a mother, a wife
There’s no one to show us
What it’s all about
So I guess we’ll just figure it out
This woman’s world
Were the sweets my mother gave me
The balls of herbs and honey
That she’d give me when I cried
She laughed a lot, my mother
She was bright, and light, and silly
And I remember how my Daddy smiled so much
Before she died
I like to think if she were here
I’d be a little bolder
I know she’d show me what to do
Each year as I got older
I like to think if she were here
She’d never let me go
And I want to do what she’d do
– but I guess I’ll never know
I’ve never walked in a woman’s world
Where I can make my own choices
If we could walk in a woman’s world
We’d have our own voices have our own lives
I’d be more than a daughter, a mother, a wife
There’s no one to show us
What it’s all about
So I guess we’ll just figure it out
This woman’s world
The first thing I remember

And my mother shut me out

So I guess we’ll just figure it out
This woman’s world
