All Our Mothers Were Darlings

Singing by Charlotte Strawbridge Written by Jack King-Spooner Lyrics: What of tea stains? What of hessian? What of wrinkles? What of morning? What of footprints? What of kindling? What of father’s pencil sharpenings? All our mothers were darlings. Darlings they still are. When we close our eyes for the night All we see is light. Little lights in heaven Shining there for us. When we close our eyes for the night All we see is love. What of lovebites? What of summer? This one’s for sorrow, Word of warning. Like a daydream Or a fever. What of father’s drinking habits. All our mothers were darlings. Darlings they still are. When we close our eyes for the night All we see is light. Little lights in heaven Shining there for us. When we close our eyes for the night All we see is love.
