The Dress That My Mother Wore lyrics

It's old and it's faded

It's tattered and torn

And it's often been mended before

But it's pink and it's blue

And oh me, good as new

The dress that my mother wore

It's old and it's faded

The lining is worn

And the snip doesn't catch anymore

It's not worth very much

Yet I thrill when I touch

The dress that my mother wore

It's easy for me to start dreaming and see

How she looked long ago in the dress

As she toyed with the lace

Looking down on the face

Of a boy softly whispering, "Say yes"

I know how she felt

When she wore it and knelt

And they prayed in the church side by side

I can feel the world spin

As he tilted her chin

And he kissed her

And made her is bride

It's old and it's faded

It's tattered and torn

Yes it's often been mended before

There's a rip here and there

But no gown can compare

With the dress that my mother wore

With the dress that my mother wore
