I wish I had a mother, I wish I had a father,
Even if they were not, so loving either!
The cradle of love I always missed,
Though all and sundry came and kissed
It felt unreal and pretentious rather,
I wish I had a mother, I wish I had a father,
Even if they were not, so loving either!
The toys I got were so clumsy and old,
Some dolls were with one eye missing
Some snake toys, came on you hissing,
All worn out stuff did they gather.
I wish I had a mother, I wish I had a father,
Even if they were not, so loving either!
The sweet and caring hands of mom,
Papa attending my every prom
The lullabies parents sang for me together.
I wish I had a mother, I wish I had a father,
Even if they were not, so loving either!
The colorful pram I dreamt in sleeps
May I sit in and have it for keeps,
For strolls with my folks together.
I wish I had a mother, I wish I had a father,
Even if they were not, so loving either!
