Apron Strings

Posted on September 27, 2008October 18, 2015 By Doriano 2 Comments on Apron Strings

Everything But the Girl’s “Apron Strings” is the other unforgetable song from the movie “She’s Having a Baby” (1988) that I’ve covered on here before (“This Woman’s Work”). It’s such a beautiful song about a common every day object that takes on monumental meaning. Every little thing changes when you have a baby and it’s all for the best.

Apron strings
Hanging empty crazy things
My body tells me
I want someone to tie to my
Apron strings
Apron strings
Waiting for you pretty things
That I could call you
I want someone to tie to my
Lonely apron strings.
Your baby looks just like you when you were young
And he looks at me with eyes that shine
And I wish that he were mine
Then I go home
To my
Apron strings
Cold and lonely,
For time brings
thoughts that only
Will be quiet when someone clings
to my apron strings.
And I’ll be perfect in my own way
When you cry I will be there
I’ll sing to you and comb your hair
All your troubles I will share
For apron strings
Can be used for other things
Than what they’re meant for
and you’d be happy wrapped in my
Apron strings
You’d be happy wrapped in my
Apron strings
