Born Of My Lover (acoustic)
© 2009 Alan Kim Cochran

A bedeviled smile for an impish tease
Blue eyes looking so much like mine
Born of my lover, a daughter to please
And you’ll be a woman, in time
You’ll be a woman, in time

Stallion rampant, but a woman’s heart
Constitution of leather and steel
My daughter, you’re hardy and sturdy and smart
Yet you can’t always do as you feel
‘Can’t always do as you feel

And I was there when you first saw the world,
And all the wide world first saw you
Making your way, as the birthing unfurled
‘Twas then we were no longer two
Then we were no longer two

Stallion rampant, but a woman’s heart
Constitution of leather and steel
My daughter, you’re hardy and sturdy and smart
Yet you can’t always do as you feel
‘Can’t always do as you feel

And, where will you go, as the years fall away?
What blossoms of forgotten spring?
Will you run wild, hold fast to the way?
And what will your summertimes bring?
What will your summertimes bring?

Stallion rampant, but a woman’s heart
Constitution of leather and steel
My daughter, you’re hardy and sturdy and smart
Yet you can’t always do as you feel
We can’t always do as we feel

A bedeviled smile for an impish tease
Blue eyes looking so much like mine
Born of my lover, a daughter to please
And you’ll be a woman, in time
You’ll be a woman, in time
You’ll be a woman, in time…
