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