Apron strings hanging empty

Crazy things my body tells
me

I want someone to tie to my apron strings

Apron strings waiting
for you

Pretty things that I could call you

I want someone to tie
to my lonely apron strings



Your baby looks just like you when you
were young

And he looks at me with eyes that shine

And I wish that
he were mine

Then I go home to my apron strings

Cold and loney, for
time brings thoughts

That only will be quiet

When someone clings to
my apron strings



And I'll be perfect in my own way

When you
cry I will be there

I'll sing to you and comb your hair

All your
troubles I will share

For apron strings can be used for other things

Than what they're meant for

And you'll be happy wrapped in my apron
strings

You'll be happy wrapped in my apron strings.
