Cosmos

(verse 1)

I see with my little eye

way up in the sky

a cosmos so far away

a hot autumn and a full clothes line

a white dress and a ring on my finger

I'm not quite used to yet

my mother's been quiet lately these days

give me marriage advice

flip through photo albums

boxes piled at the entrance

I'm supposed to leave out today

but I don't want to go

she's always gone out of her way

just for her baby

I'll never be able to

sacrifice like they do

(chorus)

for one more day I'll still be your little child

how did you keep me from being so wild?

I'm a flower that some boy wanted to pick

tomorrow my last name will change

but I'll always be the same

wrapped by my lover in crimson and clover

he takes me away from my old life

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

I'm beginning to wonder if my newlywed house will ever be a home

it's so unfamiliar and lacks people

when did I reach this age and become an adult?

I may be a woman but I don't feel it

I'm too nervous to eat though mother

cooked my favorite dinner

she cries at the table in her assigned seat

she's proud and can tell that I'm complete

however, however a daughter still needs her mother

(chorus)

thank you for giving birth to me

there are not enough words that I need

to express how much I love you so ever dearly

I may be going away but I'm not gone

I'll come visit on weekends

and letters that we can send

but please promise me that this is not goodbye

(end chorus)
