Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Dear Mama
I'm sittin' here alone tonight
Just me and this old kitchen light
Talkin' to the chair where you used to sit
Wishin' I could have you back for just a minute
They say you’re in a better place now
But I still set your coffee out somehow
I fold your blanket
I lock your door
Like you might come walkin' in like before
[Chorus]
I wish you didn’t go
But I know you had to
Still my hands keep reachin’ out lookin’ for you
I hear your laugh in every quiet room
I chase it like a song that’s out of tune
Dear Mama
Can you hear me where you are?
I’m just writin’ you a letter in the dark
[Verse 2]
I’m tryin’ to be strong like you always said
Payin’ all the bills
Keepin’ us fed
I still use your old recipes
Burn the cornbread
But I try at least
I keep your Bible by the side of my bed
Read the parts you underlined in red
Some nights I find a tear-stained page
Guess you had your storms
You hid your rain
[Chorus]
I wish you didn’t go
But I know you had to
Still my hands keep reachin’ out lookin’ for you
I hear your laugh in every quiet room
I chase it like a song that’s out of tune
Dear Mama
Can you hear me where you are?
I’m just writin’ you a letter in the dark
[Bridge]
If you could talk back
What would you say?
“Baby
You’re gonna make it through another day”
I hear it in my head when the night feels long
Your voice turnin’ every broken word to a little song (mm)
[Chorus]
I wish you didn’t go
But I know you had to
Still my hands keep reachin’ out lookin’ for you
I hear your laugh in every quiet room
I chase it like a song that’s out of tune
Dear Mama
Can you hear me where you are?
I’m just writin’ you a letter in the dark

Style
Sparse, intimate country ballad with male vocals, soft fingerpicked acoustic guitar and distant pedal steel swells. Verse starts almost spoken, close-mic’d, then chorus blossoms with warm harmonies and subtle organ pad. Light brushed snare eases in on second pass to lift emotion. Mix keeps vocal raw and upfront, catching every crack and breath.
