WhenI was married that's all I ever asked for.....someone to tangle in my apron strings.....I never got it. Then HE made the decision for me & now it will never be.
I was turned on to this song by an old flame and it was "our" song. 20 years later, we still keep in touch and the song is as beautiful and powerful as ever.
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
Thank you so much! I've been waiting for the full version for so long now! My name is Zachyjames but thats my son's name. I'm his mom, Elisa. Anyway, thank you soooo much! I love this :) God bless.
Well done!! And this song is so beautiful , one of my favourites. Her voice is absolutely perfect. Thank you! How about doing one for Missing? All I can find are remixes.

I like this song but wonder what she is singing about.
Anyone have any insight?

i feel shes singing about her longing to have some one to care for, has maybe she sees an ex or friend with a child, imo..

I was thinking along those lines also.

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.

I love this version better than the one in the Idlewild album. I first heard it from "She's Having a Baby" movie a long time ago.

First heard this on She's Having a Baby. It is a beautiful sentimental piece that rings true for any parent.
RIP John Hughes.
