Waiting for Erin


Written April 22, 1979

I'll never be a Disco Queen-
A ballerina in a distant dream-
A cheerleader on an All-Star team.
But-
I'm gonna be a Mom!

I'll never be a famous star-
A jet-set lady in a fancy car-
Or travel long and wide and far-
But-
I'm gonna be a Mom!

I'll never be the sophisticated kind-
wrapped in mink and gold and wine-
Ordering "escargot" when I dine-
But-
I'm gonna be a Mom!

And it doesn't matter if I get
past the old front door-
Or spend my leisure hours
vacuuming the floor-
Because what I'll be is better
than I've ever been before-
I'm gonna be a Mom!

And if the only stars I ever see
Are those up in the sky-
I'm gonna take these
brand new wings and fly-
I'm gonna give this special
dream a try.

I'm gonna be a Mom!

And nothing is important
in this whole wide world but you-
I'll spend my entire lifetime
helping take you through-
There's nothing else I'd rather be
Or anything else I'd rather do-
I'm gonna be a Mom!
