Clair de lune

mom's saying: "it's high time you settled down, sweetheart."
mom's reminding: "don't forget to take your meds, dear."
mom's advising: "try not to overwork yourself, okay?"
mom's suggesting: "maybe hit the hay a bit earlier tonight."
mom's cautioning: "stay away from those hot dogs, alright?"
mom's urging: "don't push it on the road, darling."
mom's pleading: "please, cut back on the alcohol, for me."
mom's longing: "I wish you'd call more often, Sasha."
mom's confessing: "honestly, I'm really missing you."
mom's wondering: "any chance you'll come visit in the summer?"

Oh Sasha, did you hear? It's snowing again in St. Pete.
Just checking my blood pressure, nothing serious.
Don't worry about money, we're doing just fine.
No, we won't be making the trip to you,
Why don't you come here instead, my dear?
We were looking at your baby pictures the other day,
you looked so adorable in your stroller.
Everyone's sending their love to you, by the way.
No tears, Sasha, just longing for your company.
How about playing "Clair de lune" for me?
