When I was frightened

Afraid to be alone

You'd take me in your arms

And sing the pretty horses song

And light a holy candle

To keep the dark away

We'd dream about tomorrow

Everything would be okay

 

Oh, Mama how have you been?

It's been a long time

We were the best of friends

Oh, Mama I'd give anything

For you to wipe these tears

Away from my eyes once again

 

When my heart is aching 

I find I think of you

Remember how you held me

How you helped me lose my blues

And when I close my eyes 

I see the flicker of the flame

I hear that lullaby 

And I am home again

 

Oh, Mama how have you been?

It's been a long time

We were the best of friends

Oh, Mama I'd give anything

For you to wipe these tears

Away from my eyes once again

From my eyes

From my eyes

From my eyes once again

 

Hush now baby don't you cry

Mama's gonna sing you a lullaby

When you wake you will find

All the pretty little horses
