Gillian

Oh Gillian, you're up with the sun

You've done a hundred things before half past nine

By the time most folk are up and gone

You'll be starting on one hundred and one

There's not enough hours in a day

To do all the things she's just got to do

When the daylight fades and the night invades

She's only just begun

Weary as you lay at night waiting for the sun

Planning out tomorrow now before this day is done

'Gillian you work too hard'

But don't you try to slow her down - she'll tell you

'Idleness is good for none work's how I get my fun

Idleness is good for none work's how I get things done'

Gillian you're the one you're the one

Shining in my life, you're my eternal sun

I'm trying to thank you now for what I've become

But I've only just begun

Your influence has been profound and I'm proud to be your son

Your blood is my blood we are forever bound

You're the inspiration to the way I live my life

I'm singing,

Gillian if you weren't my mother I would make you my wife

Gillian if you weren't my mother I'd make you my wife

Gillian if you weren't my mother I'd make you my wife

Gillian if you weren't my mother I would make you my wife
