Least I Have You

Mama had to be man of the house Papa played mom like cat plays mouse She had to do what she had to do She threw him out like an old left shoe Refused to go, we were too small to know We'd end up in another state, jail mates Me and my sister, fate unknown Tried to call her on the telephone But we couldn't reach the dial tone At night, we were scared, and we cried She told me lullabies to dry my eyes And chase away the blue That's what big sisters do And they chase away the nightmares too If no one, if no one in the world understands At least I have you, at least I have you If no one, if no one in the world understands At least I have you, at least I have you Too many moths spoil the broth Not enough candles, light is lost Flew off the handle, just an ordinary scandal My light is lost without you Had to throw him out too like an old stinky shoe You taught me how to go for bluebirds Sing songs without words It'd be easier to tell you Just how much I love and miss you If no one in the world If no one, if no one in the world understands At least I have you, at least I have you If no one, if no one in the world understands At least I have you (at least I have you), at least I have you (at least I have you) If no one, if no one in the world understands At least I have you (at least I have you), at least I have you (at least I have you)
