On a scale of 1 to 10, tell me how much you're hurting?
If it's too hard, I'll call the hospital people right away
On a scale of 1 to 10, tell me how much you hope
That your great-great-grandchildren won't know war?

On a scale of 1 to 10, the chances that we'll see each other again
They're not very high and you know it as well as I do
We won't say it but we both think about it a lot
All this obviously looks like a goodbye

You would have wanted me to introduce you to a girl, but I came alone
You would have received her like a queen
You would have told her how beautiful you were too
While winking at me

On a scale of 1 to 10, tell me how scared you are
When you're all alone and you think you hear your time coming?
On a scale of 1 to 10, tell me how much you remember?
The jams for snack time, the summer and the cousins?

On a scale of 1 to 10, I give you the highest score
For the grandmother you've been, but I can see you don't care
I would have liked to stay longer but I think I have to go
Life is calling me and you know you shouldn't make it wait

You would have wanted me to introduce you to a girl, but I came alone
You would have received her like a queen
You would have told her how beautiful you were too
While winking at me

On a scale of 1 to 10, I see myself as a child
On a scale of 1 to 10, we walked while singing
"There was a little shepherdess who went to the market
Three steps forward, three steps back and three steps to the side"

You would have wanted me to introduce you to a girl, but I came alone
You would have received her like a queen
You would have told her how beautiful you were too
While winking at me

On a scale of 1 to 10, tell me how much you're hurting?
If it's too hard, I'll call the hospital people right away
