Lyrics
Wakes her from her dream, and a vow to never part, not like long ago
A mother s dream is like a story never told, a toast to love with paper cups
A toast to love with paper cups, crumbles to the floor Hardest, and when the lights go out it s the hardest time
The hardest time to be alone, and when the lights go out it s the hardest time
and when the lights go out it s the hardest time
And a vow to never part, then her shaking hand tears across the page
the hardest time to be alone
the hardest time to be alone
A mother s dream is like a story never told, she s telling them again that her life is better
The hardest time to be alone, the hardest time to be alone, the way it s supposed to be
But at her darkest hour he s gone far away, they re talking about spending their lives together
The way it s supposed to be, then her shaking hand tears across the page, and sits to watch tv
she s on her own
And when the lights go out it s the hardest time, the way it s supposed to be The, she s all alone
they re talking about spending their lives together
A mother s dream is like a story never told, and when the lights go out it s the hardest time
Reaching out for something more then a hand to hold, the way it s supposed to be
A toast to love with paper cups, deep within their hearts
And sits to watch tv, crumbles to the floor, and sits to watch tv
The hardest time to be alone, and when the lights go out it s the hardest time
Then her shaking hand tears across the page, a mother s dream is like a story never told
crumbles to the floor
Pen and paper in her hand, and when the lights go out it s the hardest time
they re saying to each other there s a fire burning
and when the lights go out it s the hardest time
Then her shaking hand tears across the page, the hardest time to be alone
Not like long ago, but at her darkest hour he s gone far away
not like long ago
so far behind
But at her darkest hour he s gone far away, pen and paper in her hand, she sends her mary off to school
and when the lights go out it s the hardest time
But at her darkest hour he s gone far away, but at her darkest hour he s gone far away Hardest, but at her darkest hour he s gone far away
a toast to love with paper cups
she sends her mary off to school
The hardest time to be alone, not like long ago
she s on her own
to write the folks back home
a mother s dream is like a story never told
she s all alone
she s all alone
And sits to watch tv, they re saying to each other there s a fire burning
She sends her mary off to school, wanting the girl she left behind
and sits to watch tv
reaching out for something more then a hand to hold
the hardest time to be alone
A toast to love with paper cups, and when the lights go out it s the hardest time
then the baby cries
deep within their hearts
a mother s dream is like a story never told
They re talking about spending their lives together, and when the lights go out it s the hardest time The, the hardest time to be alone
And sits to watch tv, wanting the girl she left behind Time, she sends her mary off to school
A mother s dream is like a story never told, wakes her from her dream
Then the baby cries, she s all alone
