Margaret Hamilton

your eyes are like sapphires sparkling so bright they make the morning radiant and light? Sixteen dollars, working all day I didn't have time to waste, I got art to make I got love to create on this holy night They won't dim my light. All these years, I fight It's been thirty-eight summers, and I'm not in my bed On the back of the bus and a bunk with the band Goin' so hard, now I miss my kids Overworked and overwhelmed I might cook, clean, but still won't fold Still working on my life, you know Only God knows, only God knows Only God knows Sixteen carriages driving away While I watch them ride with my fears away To the summer sunset on a holy night On a long back road, all the tears I fight Sixteen carriages driving away While I watch them ride with my fears away To the summer sunset on a holy night On a long back road, all these tears I fight Ooh, ooh Ooh At fifteen, the innocence was gone astray Had to take care of home at an early age I saw Mama cryin', I saw Daddy lyin' Had to sacrifice and leave my fears behind The legacy, if it's the last thing I do You'll remember me 'cause we got something to prove In your memory, on a highway to truth Still see our faces when you close your eyes
