This Womans Work

Pray god you can cope. I stand outside this woman’s work, this woman’s world.
Ooh, it’s hard on the man, now his part is over.
Now starts the craft of the father.

I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.
I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.
I should be crying, but I just can’t let it show.
I should be hoping, but I can’t stop thinking
Of all the things I should’ve said, that I never said.
All the things we should’ve done, that we never did.
All the things I should’ve given but I didn’t.
Oh, darling, make it go. Make it go away.

Give me these moments back. Give them back to me.
Give me that little kiss. Give me your hand.
