Lyrical idea:
The tough and unrelenting responsibility of a single mother
No respite, no backup, no soul mate, no one to turn to ...

Intro:
I'm woken by my child's approaching footsteps
Getting in my bed to cuddle me

[Strike up with backing]

Verse 1:
I wish I'd listened better when I was younger
I thought I had the world at my feet
I didn't care about the choices I made  
I thought I had my destiny beat

Verse 2:
Then you arrived and my world changed forever
You gave my life purpose and light
Some days are good and we have fun together
Some days are bad and I cry

Chorus:
Am I crying for love or am I crying for life
Am I sad where some decisions have led
Are you all that I have, can I give you enough
Are you my making as we lie in this bed

Verse 3:
Your daddy's gone and others won't do
You've had to grow up before your time
Your my greatest achievement, I want you to know
My super hero who someday will fly

Verse 4:
Together we're stronger, we can face anything
With your arms around me things are all right
I dream of my freedom so I can do everything
But when you leave I know I'll miss you and cry

Chorus:
Am I crying for love or am I crying for life
Am I sad where some decisions have led
Are you all that I have, can I give you enough
Are you my making as we lie in this bed

Middle 8: [more sedate and dreamy, like the middle of Randy Crawford's street life]:
vocal cruning / no words

B Chorus:
Am I crying ...............am I crying
Am I sad where some decisions have led
Are you all that I have can I give you enough
Are you my making as we lie in this bed

Chorus:
Am I crying for love or am I crying for life
Am I sad where some decisions have led
Are you all that I have, can I give you enough
Are you my making as we lie in this bed

Outro:
Good morning darling
What shall we do today
