lyrics

I called you up today, mom
to see if your headache went away
it seems that you get them
nearly every single day
it seems that you get them
every time you think I’ve slipped away
but i promise this to you, mom
that even when I’m gone
I’m still the same child
you once held in your arms

should i call you out of school, mom?
I think you deserve a sick day
and every time they test you
I get those old stomach aches

and maybe one day, mom
we will walk in fields of green
and the family farm will be there
just like in your dreams
and they’ll sing you the lullaby
you used to sing to me:

too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral
too-ra-loo-ra-li
too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral
hush now, don't you cry
too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral
too-ra-loo-ra-li
too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral
that's an Irish lullaby
