Lyrics

[00:06.19] .
[00:06.82] The kitchen smells like orange peels
[00:10.00] Her stomach turns like a spinning wheel
[00:12.93] Put the baby down in her little seat
[00:16.17] You should rest now mama you should eat
[00:19.99] It ain’t right you been working all day
[00:22.99] All us kids getting in your way
[00:25.80] So she goes to bed as soon as the kitchen's clean
[00:32.49] That don’t mean a thing to you but it does to me
[00:39.49] .
[00:42.47] Well I don’t know if this part is true
[00:45.49] How memories lie sometimes they do
[00:48.80] But I can see her in our living room
[00:51.86] With a smile on her face as she’s dancing to
[00:55.63] Judy Garland, Carnegie Hall, Sunday April 23rd
[01:01.86] She said her cousin had a balcony seat
[01:06.83] And that don’t mean a thing to you but it does to me
[01:15.21] .
[01:19.58] Oh Lord, am I good enough
[01:25.89] When this world spins as hard as it does
[01:31.50] And we both know how it shakes some people up
[01:37.88] So how did you decide to give me so much love
[01:44.50] .
[01:48.00] Well, she never said a word to me
[01:51.00] About dying, about how she’d leave
[01:54.53] In all her pain she would never cry
[01:57.49] Me and my best friend Tina would ride our bikes
[02:00.79] From Lelland Road up Daily Drive
[02:04.30] We took a paper route one summer time
[02:07.43] Tina’s mom said I was part of the family
[02:13.81] And that don’t mean a thing to you but it does to me
[02:21.11] .
[02:25.16] Oh Lord, am I good enough
[02:31.35] When this world spins as hard as it does
[02:37.11] And we both know how it shakes some people up
[02:43.62] So how did you decide to give me so much love,
[02:50.49] Love love, so much love, so much love
[03:00.10] Love love, you give me so much love, so much love
[03:13.38] .
[03:16.69] No one’s had a bigger say
[03:19.50] In who I am today
[03:23.01] And I swear I’ve tried to be worthy of
[03:26.29] The name they gave me when I was young
[03:29.32] But I ain’t that pretty, I ain’t that brave
[03:32.66] My kids have seen me cry
[03:35.86] They should have given her name to my sister Marie
[03:42.51] And that don’t mean a thing to you,
[03:48.88] That don’t mean a thing to you
[03:53.88] But it does to me
[03:58.85] .
