Blub

Why not crack a happy sappy smile at me
 You've been fussing and fighting
 And trying not to be
 Like your mother, told you, not to be
 Why not fly a friendly faced flag at me
 You've been huffing and puffing
 And blowing and bluffing like daddy
 Told you, not to be
 Your name is written in window dust
 Your name is written in air
 Your name in butter laid cold on hot toast
 Feels like you're melting away
 The things that you do and you say
 This is the day, we're on our way to the shops
 Buy you a book, won't stop and look 'till we're home dear
 Give you away, find you someday like a lost bone
 Dream of you someday forget your face when I'm home alone
 Your name is written in blackboard chalk
 Your name is written in sand
 Your name in sun cream on steaming back
 Feels like you're melting away
 The things that you do and you say
 This is the day, we're on our way to the shops
 Buy you a book, won't stop and look 'till we're home dear
 Give you away, find you someday like a lost bone
 Dream of you someday forget your face when I'm all alone
