Soft, soft the firelight on my mother's face
Reading by candlelight, everything in its place
Outside the willow tree weeping in the wind
I'm a man more sinned against than sinning oh I swear

[Chorus]
You know that I'll love you
No matter what you do
You know that I'll love you
No matter what you do

When she walked her feet were bare the wind played in her hair
And when I fell she carried me she said son, I don't care
She made me feel like I could do anything I wanted to
I'm a man more sinned against than sinning oh I swear

[Chorus]
