Eugenia
You put your dreams on hold for my brothers and me
Eugenia
You turned down that offer to go to the Academy
We made out - the people lost out
That is plain to see
Ooooh - Eugenia you did it for the family
When I was a boy
You were his young secretary
You had to remind our father
Daily to where he had to be
Taking phone calls
Filing groceries
Shoving us daily
On to the bus
Eugenia you were always looking after us
At fourteen I learned
That you were studying law
You were righteous in dad's defense
And left us all in awe
You slapped my hand
Made your case
Cleared his name
I must confess
Eugenia you laid your case to rest
Eugenia
You put your dreams on hold for my brothers and me
Eugenia
You turned down that offer to go to the Academy
We made out - the people lost out
That is plain to see
Ooooh - Eugenia you did it for the family
Our time on earth is much too short
It seems
So mother won't you take some time
To visit my dreams...
Won't you visit my dreams?
In his later years when
Dad was very ill
I watched you from the doorway
Sorting out his pills
You stroked his hair
Kissed his head
Wiped away the drool
From the bottom of his chin
Eugenia the most loving nurse
That's ever been
Eugenia
You put your dreams on hold for my brothers and me
Eugenia
You turned down that offer to go to the Academy
We made out - the people lost out
That is plain to see
Ooooh Eugenia you did it for the family
Ooooh Eugenia you did it for the family
