about

Denis wrote this tender song for his mother, Christina.

lyrics

WHEN I OPENED UP MY EYES YOU WERE THERE
AND THROUGH EVERY LITTLE STEP OF LIFE YOU STILL CARED

CLOUDS ROLLED UP SKY GOT DARK
YOU WERE BUSY SEWIN ME A BRAND NEW HEART
IF I CUT MY KNEE IN OUR BACK YARD
WHO COULD EASE THE PAIN WITH A DECK OF CARDS

AND AN INEXHAUSTIBLE SUPPLY OF SOOTHING WORDS AND LULLABYES
OH I ONLY CALLED TO SAY A BOY SHOULD CALL HOME EVERY DAY
I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU HOW I REALLY NEED YOU

SEASONS DIE FORTUNES FADE
LITTLE FINGERS GEGTIN BUSY EVERY DAY
OH I MIGHT GROW UP AND MOVE AWAY
AND NEVER LISTEN TO ANOTHER THING YOU SAY

OH I ONLY CALLED TO SAY A BOY SHOULD CALL HOME EVERY DAY
BUT IN THIS CRAZY CIRCUMSTANCE OF LIFE WE DON’T GET HALF A CHANCE
I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU HOW I REALLY NEED YOU NOW

WHEN I SAW YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES I WAS SCARED
BUT I SEARCHED FOR YOU INSIDE AND ALL I KNOW IS YOU WERE STILL THERE

WITH AN INEXHAUSTIBLE SUPPLY OF SOOTHING WORDS AND LULLABYES
OH I ONLY CALLED TO SAY A BOY SHOULD CALL HOME EVERY DAY
I STILL WANT TO TELL YOU HOW I REALL NEED YOU
OH I ONLY CALLED YO SAY A BOY SHOULD CALL HOME EVERY DAY
BUT IN THIS CRAZY CIRCUMSTANCEOF LIFE WE DON’T GET HALF A CHANCE
I STILL NEVER TOLD YOU HOW BUT I REALLY NEED YOU NOW
