If I could, I'd be your little spoon
And kiss your fingers forevermore
But, big spoon, you have so much to do
And I have nothing ahead of me

You're the sun, you've never seen the night
But you hear its song from the morning birds
Well, I'm not the moon, I'm not even a star
But awake at night, I'll be singing to the birds

Don't wait for me, I can't come

Your mother wouldn't approve
Of how my mother raised me
But I do, I think I do
