Momma

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.
