Let me Live Awhile with You
Oh mother will you let me live,
A little while with you.
I'll try not get in your way,
Like other unwanted children do.
I'll give you all my love,
And try to make your life a joy,
So won't you let me live awhile,
Whether I be a girl or boy?
I'll listen while you teach me,
About the rights and wrongs.
But please dear troubled mother,
Don't let them rip me apart with tongs.
I know you have a choice,
To do with me what you will,
But please dear mother,
Don't be influenced,
By those who live upon the hill.
I may not be as perfect,
As you would like for me to be,
But please - my loving mother,
With all your love,
GIVE ME LIFE,
That I might live awhile with thee.
