You turn off the light, kiss me good night

And mother, I know that I’m going to be alright



I just can't wait to grow up

Find my own life, be a good wife

And a smart one, I’m sure



I never took us for granted and I always knew

You and I are special

But I never knew how much I'd miss you



So much has changed and been rearranged

And I see that I’ve lost

What made me so young and incredibly strong

And never ever wrong

You were always there

Because you're always everywhere



I used to cry for no reason

And that's still the same

Except that I had adolescence to blame

But not now



Now I feel sad because I don't know what’s true

And I miss thinking I could be just like you.



So much has changed and been rearranged

And I see that I’ve lost

What made me so young and incredibly strong

And never ever wrong

So much has changed and been rearranged

And I see that I’ve lost

What made me so sure that I could endure

How hard it is to lose and live again

And never understand



You are always everywhere

You're always there



You turn off the light, and kiss me goodnight

And mother, I know that I’m going to be alright
