Mary’s Song
When you looked like a little bagel
I loved you so very much:
How you crawled across the cradle
Every move yours, every touch.
How you yawned and how you snored,
How you laughed and how you sneezed,
And your very first step towards me,
When your hands had been released.
Refrain
Oh … Mary, Mary, Mary,
Our little honey pie
Degrees of love can vary
But permanent is mine.
We’ll be there, if you need us
Like Elephants who're always tied
If “life is just a bowl of cherries”
We’ll call each cherry: “Mary”
Because each fruit is seeded
From all our hopes and tries.
When you looked like a little bagel
I loved you so very much:
How you crawled across the cradle
Every move yours, every touch.
How you yawned and how you snored,
How you laughed and how you sneezed,
And your very first step towards me,
When your hands had been released.
Refrain
Oh … Mary, Mary, Mary,
Our little honey pie
Degrees of love can vary
But permanent is mine.
We’ll be there, if you need us
Like Elephants who're always tied
If “life is just a bowl of cherries”
We’ll call each cherry: “Mary”
Because each fruit is seeded
From all our hopes and tries.
Then when you became a “teenager” --
Travel pal and friendly tease
We have learned so much together,
Building life-long expertise:
What means “help”, how to be not voiceless,
Tennis, swimming, badminton,
“Study hard” and “make tough choices”,
Stand for family and home
Refrain
Now when you so independent
And self-sufficient like a queen,
We can only imagine
How high you set your dreams
Travel pal and friendly tease
We have learned so much together,
Building life-long expertise:
What means “help”, how to be not voiceless,
Tennis, swimming, badminton,
“Study hard” and “make tough choices”,
Stand for family and home
Refrain
Now when you so independent
And self-sufficient like a queen,
We can only imagine
How high you set your dreams
That should make us feel quite stable
But … I’m worried, so is mom:
Cause… you’re still that little “bagel“
For your Mom and Daddy’s palms.
Refrain
And we hope in a proper timing
You’ll be a caring mom and wife,
Calling crawling, running, driving
”the best project of your life”.
You will learn not to take credit
For your parental advice,
Just sometimes you’ll miss being petted
And this song you memorized.
But … I’m worried, so is mom:
Cause… you’re still that little “bagel“
For your Mom and Daddy’s palms.
Refrain
And we hope in a proper timing
You’ll be a caring mom and wife,
Calling crawling, running, driving
”the best project of your life”.
You will learn not to take credit
For your parental advice,
Just sometimes you’ll miss being petted
And this song you memorized.
Oh … Mary, Mary, Mary,
Our little honey pie
Degrees of love can vary
But permanent is mine.
We’ll be there, if you need us
Like the Elephants who're always tied
If “life is just a bowl of cherries”
We’ll call each blossom: “Mary”
Because each tree is planted
From parents’ hopes and tries.
Our little honey pie
Degrees of love can vary
But permanent is mine.
We’ll be there, if you need us
Like the Elephants who're always tied
If “life is just a bowl of cherries”
We’ll call each blossom: “Mary”
Because each tree is planted
From parents’ hopes and tries.
