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