Motherhood and apple pie

moments inspiring a love alien
precious but so hard to come by
is there a point in keeping account
for we are born and so must we die
but you know that just as well as i

give me today or give me tomorrow
give me your love or gentle pity
i accept all this with equanimity
for eons ago i had to eat humble pie
but you know that just as well as i

we meet people, we make friends
we work, eat, drink and dance
its a fabulous world we live in
but somehow it gets boring, so i try
but you know that just as well as i

and so i met you one wonderful day
having no clue whats comin' my way
and i'd still say that i had a joy ride
laughter with you always gave me a high
but you know that just as well as i

and its at times like these that i wonder
if we could have been free and together
its the best of wishes i can wish for us
for before your time comes i could die
but you know that just as well as i
