[00:06.19]. [00:06.82]The kitchen smells like orange peels [00:10.00]Her stomach turns like a spinning wheel [00:12.93]Put the baby down in her little seat [00:16.17]You should rest now mama you should eat [00:19.99]It ain’t right you been working all day [00:22.99]All us kids getting in your way [00:25.80]So she goes to bed as soon as the kitchen's clean [00:32.49]That don’t mean a thing to you but it does to me [00:39.49]. [00:42.47]Well I don’t know if this part is true [00:45.49]How memories lie sometimes they do [00:48.80]But I can see her in our living room [00:51.86]With a smile on her face as she’s dancing to [00:55.63]Judy Garland, Carnegie Hall, Sunday April 23rd [01:01.86]She said her cousin had a balcony seat [01:06.83]And that don’t mean a thing to you but it does to me [01:15.21]. [01:19.58]Oh Lord, am I good enough [01:25.89]When this world spins as hard as it does [01:31.50]And we both know how it shakes some people up [01:37.88]So how did you decide to give me so much love [01:44.50].

[02:25.16]Oh Lord, am I good enough [02:31.35]When this world spins as hard as it does [02:37.11]And we both know how it shakes some people up [02:43.62]So how did you decide to give me so much love, [02:50.49]Love love, so much love, so much love [03:00.10]Love love, you give me so much love, so much love [03:13.38]. [03:16.69]No one’s had a bigger say [03:19.50]In who I am today [03:23.01]And I swear I’ve tried to be worthy of [03:26.29]The name they gave me when I was young [03:29.32]But I ain’t that pretty, I ain’t that brave [03:32.66]My kids have seen me cry [03:35.86]They should have given her name to my sister Marie [03:42.51]And that don’t mean a thing to you, [03:48.88]That don’t mean a thing to you [03:53.88]But it does to me [03:58.85].
