Father Time and Mother Love
Hank Snow · The Singing Ranger, Vol. 3 [Bear Family (Germany)] [1994]
(John D. Loudermilk)
Father time and mother love,
Sit in their house some where up above
And make us do what they want us to do
And they made me wanting you.
Father time with his memory's of you
And mother love with her heart beat so true
Have brought us back alltough we were through
And made me know that I love only you.
Father time has dimed my eyes,
With tears mother love placed inside
When I had missed you all that I could
They gave me you back to love as I should.
Father time and mother love,
Sit in their house somewhere up above
And like puppets and mortals do love
They guide our hearts where they want them to go.
Father time and mother love
Will always be in their house up above
And father time forever will see
Mother love keeps you close to me...
Father time and mother love,
Sit in their house some where up above
And make us do what they want us to do
And they made me wanting you.
Father time with his memory's of you
And mother love with her heart beat so true
Have brought us back alltough we were through
And made me know that I love only you.
Father time has dimed my eyes,
With tears mother love placed inside
When I had missed you all that I could
They gave me you back to love as I should.
Father time and mother love,
Sit in their house somewhere up above
And like puppets and mortals do love
They guide our hearts where they want them to go.
Father time and mother love
Will always be in their house up above
And father time forever will see
Mother love keeps you close to me...
