Why couldn’t I see what you meant to me,
When I had you in my life?
You gave your loving unselfishly,
In return all I gave you was strife.
I’m sorry; I didn’t mean to hurt you,
Even though I was a child, running innocent and wild.
Forgive me, how can I repay you,
Thank you just won’t do, because I owe it all to you
Momma, do you know how much I miss you
Can’t believe I let you go, without saying that I love you
Momma, just want you to know
Even though we are apart, I am always thinking of you
Your little boy is a man now, still I look to you.
[Lead me through the night] To guide me through all my hardship
You tried to save me from this pain, if I could hold you hand again
I remember, everything you taught me
If you could only live to see, the kind of man you knew I’d be
Mold me, everything you told me
Preparing me for when I’m grown, now I have children of my own, momma
Momma, do you know how much I miss you
Can’t believe I let you go, without saying that I love you
Momma, just want you to know
Even though we are apart, I am always thinking of you
Every whisper, is a prayer
A petition, wishing you were here
I know these tears are not in vain
But knowing that you’re gone, fills my heart with so much pain.
