Claudia Scott - Ophelia Lyrics

OPHELIA

I'd play on the floor beneath your skirts
We'd make music with the pots and pans
I still remember how it feels
We were the best of pals

I went to school only down the road
Every morning you'd take me there
Holding my hand, as I danced on the walls
With the London breeze in my hair

Ophelia, you gave me life
Mother, sister, daughter and wife
Ophelia, I owe it all to you
I couldn't wish for a better start
Than what you gave me

Then I moved from home to study
And you came to visit me
We'd go for walks and lie in the sun
Soaking up the big city
Too fast the years roll by
We're just small boats on the sea
Sailing on the silver waves
To our destiny

Ophelia, you gave me life
Mother, sister, daughter and wife
Ophelia I owe it all to you

A lifetime can seem so far away
When you're young and free
But years fly by in a memory
Like yesterday

Ophelia, you gave me life
Mother, sister, daughter and wife
Ophelia, I owe it all to you
Ophelia, you gave me life
Mother, sister, daughter and wife
Ophelia, I owe it all to you
I couldn't wish for a better start
Than what you gave me
