To tie to my lonely apron strings
Than what they're meant for and
Thoughts that only will be quiet when someone clings
All your troubles I will share
And he looks at me with eyes that shined
Apron strings, cold and lonely for time brings
I'll sing to you and comb your hair
To tie to my apron strings
And I wish that he were mine
When you cry I will be there
And I'll be perfect in my way
Then I go home with my eyes
For apron strings, can be used for other things
That I could call you, I want someone
To my apron strings
Apron strings, waiting for you pretty things
You'd be happy wrapped in my apron strings
Your baby looks just like you when you were young
