Labor of Love Lyrics by Emma Hilleary

0

[verse]
She screams at the sky
From inside the yellow house
A baby’s sweet, first cry
And for a second nothing else
She’s only 24
When I’m born
25
She’s busy with business
With children
She’s prepping for Christmas
The sink’s full of dishes
She’s full of wishes
But there’s no time
[Chorus]
Every day I get older
She starts to seem younger
Her stories untold
Unfold around me
The labor of love
Is a labor that nobody
Pays you for
Nobody awards
The strength in all her gentleness
The patiencе in the midst of all the mess
Rеsilience in the face of it all
I fall, to my knees
At her feet
[verse]
She moves the tassel
To the left side of her cap
Smiles for a picture
With a baby on her lap
She’s 26
I’m two years old
27
She’s busy with taxes
The cracks in the ceiling
Of the house that we’re selling
She’s tired of yelling
Over all the noise
[Chorus]
Every day I get older
She starts to seem younger
Her stories untold
Unfold around me
The labor of love
Is a labor that nobody
Pays you for
Nobody awards
The strength in all her gentleness
The patience in the midst of all the mess
Resilience in the face of it all
I fall, to my knees
At her feet
[bridge]
14 lit us both on fire
Red hot desire
Your memories burn through mine
16
You taught me to drive
While slamming the breaks
On your own life
18
The world exploded
We both imploded
In the middle of the war zone
But i’ll always save you
And you’ll always save me
[Chorus]
Every day I get older
She starts to seem younger
Her stories untold
Unfold around me
The labor of love
Is a labor that nobody
Pays you for
Nobody awards
The strength in all her gentleness
The patience in the midst of all the mess
Resilience in the face of it all
I fall, to my knees
At her feet
