Mamas' Promise

Mama wants to hold you
and rock you off to sleep,
because, you're all my babies
and my love for you runs, deep.

I've done all that I've been asked to do
I've even jumped trough an extra "hoop";
but, that matters not, to some involved,
they think I'm the REAL Betty Boop!

You must believe me when I tell you
that you're loved with my whole heart,
what I worry about, is what's been said
to prevent our re-union to finally start.

You must understand, in your heart of hearts
that my promise to you is, true;
I can't believe we're still separated
when I've done more than I was supposed to do!

Be peaceful, in your hearts my loves
we will be together, soon;
I don't want you to believe I don't love you
but, I know you'r hearing a different "tune".

The song I'm singing, is a lonely one
bitter/sweet, maybe some would say,
but, Carlos, Monique, and Toni, you're my babies...
..without you, my whole world is, grey.

You will never understand my anguish
or comprehend how much, I'm in pain;
the only thing that keeps my eyes full of hope
is that, my eyes will soon see you all, again!

Mama wants very much to hold you
and, rock you off to sleep,
because, mama misses, and loves her babies
we'll be together, soon.....this promise, I will keep!
