Every Day My Mother's Voice

Every day the sun comes up Like the day before Every day I fill my cup Stand up straight and walk through the door Every day my mother’s voice Talks to me Every day I make my choice What to do and how to be Every day I build my life On her sacrifice Every day I face my strife But I know where to go for advice Many roads I could have gone down Many, many ways to disappear Every day I hear the sound Of her voice right by my ear So clear, so clear She taught me to be strong I guess I got lucky Now I’ve got a dance and I’ve got a song They can’t take that way away from me (Every day Every day Every day) Every night the stars come up Just like the night before Every night I drain my cup Lay me down and close the door --- Every Day My Mother's Voice - Paul Kelly
