[Intro]
Oh, I hear the rain on the porch tonight,
Whispering stories of childhood light.
A silent prayer, a longing deep,
For the mother I want to keep.
[Verse 1]
We used to sit as the storms rolled in,
Listening to thunder as our kin.
Late night talks till the stars would fade,
In those moments, love was made.
[Pre-Chorus]
If I could just call and hear her say,
"I love you" in her gentle way.
One last time to hold her near,
Erase this ache, this endless fear.
[Chorus]
Mama, I miss you more than words can say,
Wish I’d been there before you drifted away.
A part of me's lost in the silent night,
Longing for your voice, your tender light.
[Verse 2]
Memories like shadows dance,
Porch swings and a fleeting glance.
Holding tight to the names we knew,
Princess Bride, “As you wish” whispered true.
[Pre-Chorus]
If I could turn back the hands of time,
Tell her she was my grand design.
Would she have stayed a while longer,
Helped me face the days much stronger?
[Chorus]
Mama, I miss you more than words can say,
Wish I’d been there before you drifted away.
A part of me's lost in the silent night,
Longing for your voice, your tender light.
[Bridge]
I feel the empty space in my heart,
A missing piece, torn apart.
Would've stayed if I knew the pain,
Held her close, kept her from the rain.
[Outro]
Now I sit here on this porch alone,
Dreaming of the times we’ve known.
If love could be measured in the stars above,
I'd tell her once more — Mama, I love.
[Powerpop Chorus]
Oh, I miss you, I miss you, I miss you so,
Wishing you were here; I just want to know.
Forever in my heart, you'll always be,
My guiding star, my melody.
