Woorden: Donna Summer. Live And More. Mimi's Song.

You know tonight is a, a very important night for me
For a number of reasons, my little girl is here tonight
And I don't think you understand what it's like being the daughter
Of someone who is always gone, it's kind of scary and it's kind of lonely

And I guess you think to yourself sometimes
"Is mummy ever gonna, ever gonna come home?"
And so my daughter looked up at me one day last week
And she said, "Mummy when are you just gonna stay home
One day and be with me"?

And so it kinda struck me funny
And I didn't realize that I hadn't spent anytime with her for a long time
So I sat down and wrote down this song after she went to bed
And I told her tonight when it was bedtime, I would sing her song

I bet you ask yourself why I'm never there
It's not because I like being away
You see I've made a spectacle of myself
And it seems that the whole world needs me

I understand when you cry alone
And mama's not there to wipe your eyes
You see it's only because
I'm out being someone to make you cry

I got a little letter and I read it on the plane
And in my heart I felt a funny kind of pain
I wish that I could be there to touch your face again

Mimi you're beautiful, Mimi you're mine
And other things that I do in my life
Seem to take up all your precious time

There's so much I long to say
So much more I long to do
But I guess it will all just have to wait
Till I can get to see you

Mimi you're mine, oh Mimi you're mine
Oh, Mimi you fill my life, you fill my life with so much love
'Cause you're beautiful and you love me and you understand

Mimi it's bedtime, say goodnight
Goodnight
