Jill Barber - My Mothers Hand Lyrics

3 s My Mother’s Hand Lyrics[Verse 1]
I'd know that writing anywhere, I've seen it all my life
You'd never miss the chance to send a card
For a birthday or a birth, or an anniversary
It's your way of saying that I'm with you where you are
When I was just a kid, there would always be
A little note tucked in my lunch just for me
A message just to say that you're with me through the day
Your way of saying that I'm really not so far

[Chorus]
From your notebook on the counter to collected recipes
That you copied from the pages of ladies' magazines
There's a certain rеcognition any child can understand
There's comfort in what's writtеn in my mother's hand

[Verse 2]
And today, it is your birthday, it popped up on my screen
And I'm sorry, I forgot to send a card
I've been so busy with the kids and working in between
That keeping up with details has been hard
So, I put the kettle on to make a cup of tea
Closed my laptop and picked up my guitar
And I put it in a song that I can sing for you
It's my way of saying that I'm with you where you are
You might also like[Bridge]
And I know you look at grandma's old letters
'Cause it brings you back to her

[Chorus]
From your notebook on the counter to collected recipes
That you copied from the pages of ladies' magazines
There's a certain recognition any child can understand
There's comfort in what's written in my mother's hand
There's comfort in what's written in my mother's hand
