She'd us up early every mornin' She'd help us say our prayers every She was always there to help us through the times We count on her to make everything alright
I remember swingin' on the front Papa said, "There's somethin' I need to say Mama's been for a long time Let's pray to God she can make it tonight"
Mama, wanna say goodbye She said those tears from your eyes Mama, I don't say goodbye It was written in the Heavens and the skies Son I you birth, showed you all my love I think of this life without you, it's hard to try Oh, mama, I'm to say goodbye
"Now I've been hangin' on a long time I hate to leave this before you're grown Remember everything I taught you Remember all the good times I'm gone
Oh, mama, don't wanna say She said "Wipe those tears your eyes" Mama, I don't say goodbye It was written in the and the skies above "Son I you birth, showed you all my love" I can't think of this life you but it's hard to try Oh, mama, I'm to say goodbye
She whispered in my ear she passed away "Son time to be a man ain't nothin' left to say walked on water, I know it's true When it time he'll call you home, I hope you're ready too"
Mama don't wanna say those tears from your eyes Mama, I don't wanna say Written in the and the skies above Gave you birth, you all my love Can't think of this life you but it's hard to try Oh, mama, I'm afraid to say goodbye, oh,
Oh, mama, I wanna say goodbye, oh
