The Story of My Life Songtext

von Melinda Schneider

I was born in 71
Policeman dad and a yodelling mum
Got no brother sister ties
I'm an only child
Nana sang to me on the swing
Made me laugh with her tickling
Took the stage at the age of 3
It was mum and me

I remember when I would fall asleep
Under mums fur coat back stage
How the sound of her voice would comfort me
And I guess that nothings changed
So here I am before you now still trying to get it right
That's the story that's the story of my life

17 I was fashion queen
It was great lycra tights were in
I would sew for half the night
Just to look right
Met a man he was everything
Broke my heart
I was 20 then
Had to learn how to be strong
How to move on

I remember when I cried all night
When my dog Rhoda died
And at 15 when I lost my Nan
She said God was by her side
So here I am before you now
Still trying to get it right
That's the story that's the story of my life

I remember the way he looked at me
When I walked on down the aisle
And how I cried those happy tears
When I became his wife
And yet here I am before you now
Still trying to get it right
That's the story that's the story of my life

I was born in 71
Policeman dad and a yodelling mum
I am proud of where I'm from
And who I've become
