Take all the pleasures of this world
The flashy cars and latest styles
Front-row parking and youth-filled vials.
For me?
Give me the flash of her smile.
Take all the peaceful moments in a day
A luxurious bubble bath
A shady chair and Grapes of Wrath
For me?
Give me the pitch of her laugh.
With all that life can promise me
In success out my front door
Today I'll take the joy and motherly pride in store
At home.
