Ella Boh - marilou Lyrics

You said maybe someday I'll be something like you
Sing like an angel, lovely and graceful
You said maybe I'll do the things you let slip through
Like record an album, could you imagine

I couldn't see it then when I was ten
But you laid it out with the words you said
Your forget-me-not living on my wrist
Just remindin' me that you knew then

Marilou
I wish you could see it
Cause you're the reason I push through
I wish you could hear it
The choir singing, singing just for you
Singing just for you

You told me Papa wanted to get me my own trumpet
So he could teach me, teach me to play it

You told me if you were my age you'd soak it all in
But I didn't hear you, I never listened

I couldn't see it then when I was ten
But you laid it out with the words you said
And your butterfly living on my chest
Just remindin' me that you knew then

Marilou
I wish you could see it
Cause you're the reason I push through
I wish you could hear it
The choir singing, singing just for you

Singing just for you
Singing just for you
Singing just for you

Yours is a love deeper than DNA
Written in stone on the walls of my brain
So much has changed but you stay the same

In every song I'm still hearing your voice
Every new year we're just fill in the void
So much has changed-

Marilou
I know you hear it
I know you see me
Looking back at you
Marilou
Mmm
