  • One, two, three

    Sat inside a railway station
    Drinking a cup of coffee on my own
    Listening to the strangest conversation
    About children and holidays in Rome

    Last night I sat inside a bar room
    And I was thinking 'bout my childhood home
    I think I need to talk to mama
    'Cause I'm about to have a child all of my own

    And I hope I'm as brave as my mother
    Wondering what kind of mother will I be?
    I hope she knows that I found a man far from my father
    Sam, my baby, and me

    I've been thinking about my husband
    From seventeen, the only love I've known
    And I could place no one above him
    So beautiful and so naive alone

    I've not even called my family
    About the life that's 'bout to find me home
    For many years, the lights would blind me
    But now I find the only one that leads me home

    And I hope I'm as brave as my mother
    Wondering what kind of mother will I be?
    Hope she knows that I found a man far from my father
    Sam, my baby, and me

    And I hope I'm as brave as my mother
    Wondering what kind of mother will I be?
    Hope she knows that I found a man far from my father
    Sam, my baby, and me
    It's just Sam, my baby, and me Writer/s: BENJAMIN LEVIN, CHRISTOPHER DAVE, DAVID OKUMU, ED SHEERAN, FRANCIS STARLITE, JESSIE WARE, NICO SEGAL, PINO PALLADINO
