[Verse 1 – Daughter]
Mama, my cup’s lookin’ lonely and dry
I been tappin’ on the table
Watchin’ that pitcher walk by
It’s orange and it’s glowin’
Like a sunset in a glass
Mama, if you love me
Better pour it up fast
[Response – Mom]
Well now, baby
You sure got a way with a plea
You talk that kinda poetry
It come straight back to me
I got soul in my wrist
And sass in my hand
I’ll pour that joy real slow
‘Cause I understand
[Chorus – Both]
Daughter: Pour me some sunshine, Mama, please
Mom: Mm-hmm, I hear that juice callin’ me
Daughter: Just a little more—don’t be shy
Mom: Child, I pour with love ‘til it reach the sky
[Verse 2 – Daughter]
It’s sloshin’ on the edges
It’s dancin’ in my cup
If happiness had a sound
That’s the way it’d glug-glug up
I ain’t askin’ for the moon
Just a splash and a grin
Mama, you the queen
Of pourin’ joy right in
[Response – Mom]
Ohhh lordy
Hear this child sing the truth
I been pourin’ heart and hope
Since I still had baby teeth
I pour it when you’re gigglin’
I pour it when you’re blue
I pour it extra strong
‘Cause that’s what mamas do
[Bridge – Spoken Call & Response]
Daughter: Is that enough?
Mom: Is it ever enough?
Daughter: Maybe just a bit…
Mom: Girl, I got plenty of love left in this pitcher
[Final Chorus – Both]
Pour me some sunshine—sweet and bold
Passed-down stories in liquid gold
If love’s a song, then here’s the proof
It sounds like laughter and orange juice
