Apron Strings

 

Apron Strings

Apron  Strings, Apron  Strings

There's a little girl deep down inside

 Still tied to mama's apron strings

 Carefully, following carefully 

All the things she taught me long ago

 Everything I'd ever need to know

 The kind of memories that won't let go

 Are tied to mama's apron strings

 Prayerfully, prayerfully

 She'd iron my daddy's shirt 

and talk to father up above

About him prayerfully tenderly, 

she'd speak so tenderly 

When I was sad she'd always seem to know 

When times were bad

her strength would always show 

That special kind of love that won't let go 

Is tied to mama's apron strings 

Together as we worked

 she would explain the ways of love 

And all the joy they bring 

But when she'd hum,

oh what a friend in Jesus

I could almost hear the angels sing 

While I danced around 

those apron streams apron  strings

Now there's a little girl right by my side

Who needs her mama's apron  strings

Carefully, watching me carefully

All the things I learned so long ago

 I'll teach her everything she'll need to know

 Handing down the love that won't let go

 All tied to mama's apron strings
