You should be fast asleep - by now,
Another day is over, you're all tired out,
Close your eyes, I kiss you good night,
And tip-toe away as I turn out the light.

Sometimes I still can't believe that she's my child,
and I'm someone's mother,
I'll always be there to love her,
'cos she's relying on me.

Suddenly, everything's become clear,
I realise when she calls why I'm here,
She needs me to depend on through the years.

You should be fast asleep by now,
See you in the morning, you've worn me out,
We need some time, your father and I,
To get back to being with each other tonight.

You came and without a warning my life changed,
And each day gets better,
You'll be my baby forever,
Just like my mother and I.

Suddenly, everything's become clear
I realise when she calls why I'm here,
She needs me to depend on through the years.

Sometimes I still can't believe that she's my child,
and I'm someone's mother,
I'll always be there to love her,
'cos she's relying on me.

Suddenly, everything's become clear
I realise when she calls why I'm here,
She needs me to depend on through the years.

When I first heard this song, I thought that the words by now in the first line sounded a little strange, however after listening to the song several times, it suddenly dawned on me that Beverley was being a little sarcastic about how easy it was to get Mollie to go to sleep!
