about

Original song by Abbey Hoffman, 2016
Dedicated to my mother, Renee Hoffman, who made raising twelve kids look easy.

lyrics

I’d like to be like my mother
I’d like to be a lover, and I’d love to stay home
On weekdays while you’re out makin’ money
I’ll be your milk & honey
Warmin’ soup on the stove

Keepin’ track of it all
Color-coded calendar on the kitchen wall
Coupons are clipped
Held up by magnets from the places we’ve been

And I could never be
All that you taught me to be

I’d like to be like my mother
I’d like to be a lover, and I’d love to stay home
On weekdays while you’re out makin’ money
I’ll be your milk & honey
Warmin’ soup on the stove

“Always room for one more”
Never knowin’ who was gonna walk through that door
You turned a house to a home
One that we can return to even though we are grown

And I could never be all that you taught me to be
But I will strive to be all that you modeled for me

I’d like to be like my mother
I’d like to be a lover, and I’d love to stay home
On weekdays while you’re out makin’ money
I’ll be your milk & honey
Warmin’ soup on the stove
