Lyrics
A Mother's Touch
Verse
Adventures with brothers and friends
High jinks seemed never to end
Though the sands of time have run through
Memories still so strong
Ruffled hair , runny nose
Frozen fingers and frozen toes
Rosy red cheeks
From staying out much too long
Chorus
Climbing trees, climbing walls
Occasional trips, constant falls
We didn't mind them at all
Didn't worry us none
Verse
Taking care was so rare
In those early, halcyon days
We'd find such happy times
Spirits raised
Chorus
No plasters to stop the bleeding
All we ever were needing
Was a soothing, gentle word
And a mother's touch
Verse
What I find I so miss
Is sharing stories as we reminisced
With the brothers that I once had
And Mum and Dad
Chorus
No plasters to stop the bleeding
All we ever were needing
Was a soothing, gentle word
And a mother's touch
All we were needing to stop the bleeding
Was so simple but meant so much
A soothing, gentle word
And a mother's touch
