Six Weeks Every Summer (Christmas Every Other Day)

Six Weeks Every Summer (Christmas Every Other Day) - Lena Martell

Composer：Fran Powers

Hopelessly the ghost

Of me sinks down into a chair

And underneath the cushion

There's a ribbon from her hair

A crumpled up reminder

That my daughter's only here

For six weeks every summer

Christmas every other year

The role of part time mother

It's the toughest role I play

My name's up there in neon lights

Lord what a price to pay

The only thing it cost was giving up

What used to be

My little angel baby

By the name of Shelly

I bravely step back in my world

It's only cheap veneer

And I die inside for summertime

And when Christmas time is near

When up the stairs comes

All my prayers yelling

Mom it's me I'm here

For six weeks every summer every summer

Christmas Christmas every other year

Just found a note

My darling wrote she left it by the phone

She knew I'd need some extra strength

To face my life alone

It says I'll always love you mom

Although I'm only here

For six weeks every summer Christmas every other year

I'd gladly give up all my fame

If only I could hear

My baby calling mommy every morning

Of the year
