lyrics

"For a Lifetime" (by Tamiko Rothhorn)

Left my picture in the bedroom, poster on the wall.
Didn’t need to take your number, I’d memorized them all.
I shut the door, said I’d be back, you said “It’s bittersweet,
Because you are a woman now, my job – it is complete.”

You hold my heart for a lifetime (You hold my heart)
Only for a moment, you held my hand. (You held my hand)
You’re my North Star, and when I drift or falter, (If I fall)
You’re there to help me stand.

Piece it all together now, what was handed down
To you, to me, an eternity of wisdom from the clouds.
The lips of mothers long ago sang those lullabies
That ring somewhere inside of me when my own baby cries.

You hold my heart for a lifetime (You hold my heart)
Only for a moment, you held my hand. (You held my hand)
You’re my North Star, and when I drift or falter (If I fall)
You’re there to help me stand.

You hold my heart for a lifetime (You hold my heart)
Only for a moment, you held my hand. (You held my hand)
You’re my North Star, and when I drift or falter (If I fall)
You’re there to help me stand.
You’re there to help me stand.
