Lyrics:
This is to mother you
To comfort you and get you through'
Through when your nights are lonely
Through when your dreams are only blue
This is to mother you
This is to be with you
To hold you and to kiss you, too
For when you need me I will do
What your own mother didn't do
Which is to mother you
All the pain that you have known
All the violence in your soul
All the wrong things you have done
I will take from you when I come
All mistakes made in distress
All your unhappiness
I will take away with my kiss, yes
I will give you tenderness
For child I am so glad I found you
Although my arms have always been around you
Sweet bird although you did not see me
I saw you
And
I'm here to mother you
To comfort you and get you through
Through when your nights are lonely
Through when your dreams are only blue
This is to mother you

My mom fought valiantly to live, to take care of my dad, who has had dementia for over 10 years.

I love this song so much, it seemed so familiar, I sang along, just realized this morning, that I have a cover of this song done in 1999 on “The Western Wall”, by Linda Rondstadt and Emmylou Harris, that’s how I knew the song, I just made the connection. I loved dear Sinèad, read her memoir that I got in 2019, reread it again, when she passed. I hope and pray she is with her Shane and her mother, her mother was seriously abusive, but Sinèad forgave her & dearly wanted to see her mom, wanted so much to repair her broken childhood.

I didn't now what kind of childhood she had... What a pity, now I know where the pain and suffering in her look comes from. Being hunted by depressions and always fighting against them mixed with hard situations in live is quite a hard thing. I could really understand her if she's just loosing the fight, when she missed her child under this circumstances.... But how really sad that is, that she already left the world. What a feeling in her voice... What fighter against her inner war... I keep her in her in my arms for all the moments when she missed someone who just do this too her. Hope she's in the arms of his son know. ❤️What a singer...
