Am I Just Being Selfish

Intro:
Miles between us like an endless road,
Your picture hangs where memories unfold. 

Verse 1: 
Our Mama packed her bags and moved on to Texas to start a new life. 
Never thought I'd see the day,
when my Mom would move so far away,
Oh, This distance cuts like a cold winter's night and I'm wrestling with words I cannot say.

Pre-Chorus:
Am I just being selfish? Wishing you were here.

Chorus:
We're happy you got to go live your life outside of the town you felt trapped in,
But the bond we shared is fading, and my heart is slowly breakin’. 
Always had imagined my kids growing up with you right there by their side!
Now these precious moments are slipping away, like summer's fading light.  

Yeah, 

Verse 2:
A Grandmothers love is something special. 
It’s something money just cannot buy. 
And now you have Five grand babies looking at photographs and wondering why?

Pre-Chorus:
I am not just speaking for myself, 
When I tell you we all wished you would have stayed!
The memories were missing, what happened to those promises that were made?
Oh, what happened to those promises that were made!!!

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:
A lot of Miles now separate us, and it’s getting harder to fly across these state lines,
Wishing you could see these kids, hear their laughter, and feel their shine. 
Your grandchildren are growing, and they need your gentle touch,
Oh, Indiana to Texas - why does this distance hurt so much?!

Oh, yeah

(Outro)
When daddy left, you were all that we had
Now distance feels like another goodbye, so sad
I want your happiness, wherever you roam
But selfishly, I'm dreaming you'll come back home.

Am I Just Being Selfish?!!!!
