Lyrics for Song: Goodnight To A Mother's Dream
Lyrics for Album: Flyer [1994]



Flippin' bottle caps through the ring around the moon

All alone on a Saturday night with the stars in bloom

I am a vision of my mother's dream come true

Built this house out in the hills all by my own will

I've got love enough for two but it's just me and this old moon



And the sailors on the water

They all want the captain's daughter

They want her beauty and her youth

To grace their bow out on the sea



Me, I'm getting older and I'm plain

As plain as can be

Got a bank full of mother's dreams

Maybe mother just didn't see that love would be the only thing

Her daughter would ever need



Oh, I am the heart not taken

The one thought not worth breakin'

I am the late blooming rose

With only her mother's dream to hold



On this less traveled road

Who really knows

Maybe the hearts not taken

Are truly made of gold



I'm gonna flip one more bottle cap up at the moon

I've got an early call with so much work to do

But, when I go inside I'm gonna let my back door slam

Mother, to tell the truth



I would trade your dream away

Just to hear some loved one say

I love you, too



And the sailors on the water

They all want the captain's daughter

They want her beauty and her youth

To grace their bow out on the sea



Me, I'm getting older and I'm plain

As plain as can be

Got a bank full of mother's dreams

Maybe mother just didn't see that love would be the only thing

Her daughter would ever need



Say goodnight to the moon

I'll say, 'I love you' to the moon

And to my mother too

Buenos suenos to the moon
