Elinor
She named her daughter Elinor
She'd blow on her belly to make her laugh
She'd blow on her belly to make her laugh
She loved her daughter more and more
She'd stay up and feed her
Then wake up and feed her
Then get up and feed her
Then stay up and feed her
But Mama's little baby won't stay young forever
She'll grown into a lady who loves every stranger
You watched her while she sleeps
And you held her when she cried out
But she'll grow into a woman who wears her own heart out
She'd have green tea with Elinor
She'd hold little hands and make little dresses
And wash all the clothes and pick up the messes
Her daughter wanted to do more
So she'd pay for the practice
Take her to the lessons
Go to the shows
And watch while she dances
But Mama's little baby won't stay young forever
She'll grow into a lady who loves every stranger
You watched her while she sleeps
And you held her when she cried out
But she'll grow into a woman who wears her own heart out
But Mama's little darling won't stay young forever
She'll grow into a lady who loves every stranger
You watched her while she sleeps
And you held her when she cried out
But she'll grow into a woman who wears her own heart out
And she'll be gone, she'll be gone
And she'd blow on her belly to make her laugh
She'd blow on her belly to make her laugh
She'd blow on her belly to make her laugh
She loved her daughter more and more
She'd stay up and feed her
Then wake up and feed her
Then get up and feed her
Then stay up and feed her
But Mama's little baby won't stay young forever
She'll grown into a lady who loves every stranger
You watched her while she sleeps
And you held her when she cried out
But she'll grow into a woman who wears her own heart out
She'd have green tea with Elinor
She'd hold little hands and make little dresses
And wash all the clothes and pick up the messes
Her daughter wanted to do more
So she'd pay for the practice
Take her to the lessons
Go to the shows
And watch while she dances
But Mama's little baby won't stay young forever
She'll grow into a lady who loves every stranger
You watched her while she sleeps
And you held her when she cried out
But she'll grow into a woman who wears her own heart out
But Mama's little darling won't stay young forever
She'll grow into a lady who loves every stranger
You watched her while she sleeps
And you held her when she cried out
But she'll grow into a woman who wears her own heart out
And she'll be gone, she'll be gone
And she'd blow on her belly to make her laugh
