Mimi's Song (Live At Universal Amphitheatre, Los Angeles/1978) - Donna Summer (堂娜·薩默)

Written by：Donna Summe

You know tonight is 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 she thinks to herself sometimes

Is mummy ever going ever gonna come home

And so my daughter looked up at me

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 son

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 how much I long to say

So much more I long to do

But I guess it's 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'll understand

Mimi it's bedtime say goodnight

Goodnight
