I can imagine how it must have been for my mother
When we were all young
How it must have taken her all she had
Once my dad had gone
Now I am
Changing Places with her
I see things through her eyes
Changing Places with her
Takes more than luck to get by
Oh Ah Oh Ah
Try to instill the best in your children
Hoping they’ll go the right way
All the while you are so terrified
You won’t be there when they need to be saved
Now I am
Changing Places with her
I see things through her eyes
Changing Places with her
Takes more than luck to get by
Oh Ah Oh Ah
Now that I’m working on my own family
Finally see what it takes
What it took, what it meant, all the time she spent
Looking after all of our needs
Now I am
Changing Places with her
I see things through her eyes
Changing Places with her
Takes more than luck to get by
Oh Ah Oh Ah
Changing Places with her
I see things through her eyes
Changing Places with her
Takes more than luck to get by
