Janet - Katie Noonan

My little one, I’ve had to send you away

To the nursery while I work 14 hours a day

In the crime class, washing in the freezing cold

Day after day

My crime in the eyes of the law

Was to lie in the bed of the man I adored

Well atleast you were made from love

Not like so many poor girls here

Please stay strong without your mother’s touch

If I could i’d break every wall between you and I

But I can’t let them drive me mad

Cause now I have you to live for

Everything’s changed, thank god it’s not like before

When all hope was gone

My little one, atleast for now you’re near me

I’m 2 yards away, can you feel my heart it beats for you

In 5 years I’ll come and get you

And we’ll start a new life

To the orphanage you will go when you turn 3

Where you’ll still have to wait for me

But with each breath we breathe

We survive a little more

Please stay strong without your mother’s touch

If I could I’d break every wall between you and I

But I can’t let them drive me mad

Cause now I have you two to live for

Everything’s changed, thank God it’s not like before

When I couldn’t see a future for me

My little one if all goes well

On sundays for a short while I can hold you

But between these times I’ll just count the steps

Til I see your face

Please stay strong without your mother’s touch

If I could I’d break every wall between you and I

But I can’t let them drive me mad

Cause now I have you to live for

Everything’s changed, thank God it’s not like before

When all hope was lost

Little one, your mother love’s you, little one

Little one, your mother love’s you, little one
