VIOLET - That's What I Could Do Lyrics

Broadway 2014
Violet the Musical - That's What I Could Do Lyrics

Each day I got you out of bed
Saw that you were fed
That's what I could do
Some days I'd give you change to go
To a picture show
That's what I could do
That's all I knew to do

You're the image of your Mama
She's in everything you are
You've got her eyes, you've got her smile
But your own spirit carried you this far

If I could, I'd take away your scar...
Forgive me... You're my only star...
Look how bright, look how strong,
Look how beautiful you are...

I raised you stronger child than me
Which will always be
That's what I could do
I raised you stronger enough to start
Seeing with your heart
That's what I could do
That's all I knew to do

The rest, I guess, is up to you...
