through love's labor,

her labor

sons and daughters were blessed and given favor



she smiled and we were safe

she cried the cords gave way

we grew into life

we left our homes too soon

too soon... too soon.. too soon..



my mother's face

her state of grace

I hope I have your strength and all your gentle ways



she smiled and we were safe

she cried the cords gave way

we grew into life

we left our homes too soon... too soon...

too soon.. too soon



as the years, they come and go

she will find her soul

in quiet life. she will hear

those voices sound so sweet and clear

so sweet and clear… so sweet and clear

so sweet and clear… so sweet and clear



it's too soon

too soon… too soon... it's too soon...

... yeah... hey...yeah...yeah...

yeah
