She loved a lot in her time. [SONG]

She loved a lot in her time. [SONG]

Her words tremble at my touch,
as she tells me of my grandmother's past.
Forever and a day to match,
the tears that fall in millions.
And, she stutters unto me...

"She loved a lot in her time,
she cried a lot in her time.
She worked a lot in her time,
dear boy, she loved a lot in her time.

The two year tantrums,
she went through so much,
what seemed six hundred times.
Hundred per kid, hundred per day,
she'll never let them fade away.
Two husbands and so many dogs,
what a life to live, you see...
She cried so many nights to sleep,
forgetting what she was to dream.
For, they sat upon the midnight moon
and fought to hell and back.
They torched and screamed,
and pinched and kicked:
The lovers of her heart.

She loved a lot in her time,
she cried a lot in her time.
She worked a lot in her time,
dear boy, she loved a lot in her time.

I'll tell you ,son, of her life,
the times she lived through the strife.
The things I recall, emotions she felt...
I'll tell you all just so you know.
The times she failed,
oh the times she failed.
They've been forgiven
but a thousand times.
The children she birthed,
oh the children she birthed...
they've forgotten the past,
they've forgotten the past."

And, the tears that fell as she spoke,
they broke my lonesome heart.
You could tell it's more than meets the eye,
as she told me the story that made her cry.

"She loved a lot in her time,
she cried a lot in her time.
She worked a lot in her time.
Dear boy, she loved a lot in her time.
It's more than you could ever dream,
the loves of her life, they worked as a team.
To show her the way and show her the hope,
'twas but six children birthed one day,
meant to teach their mother to cope,
before her days faded away.

And,
She loved a lot in her time,
she cried a lot in her time.
She worked a lot in her time,
dear boy, she loved a lot in her time."
