Mama (Afraid to Say Goodbye) |
| She’d wake us up early every mornin' |
| She’d help us say our prayers every night |
| She was always there to help us through the hard times |
| We could count on her to make everything alright |
| I remember swingin' on the front porch |
| Papa said there’s somethin' I need to say tonight |
| Mama’s been sick for a long time |
| Let’s pray to God she can make it through the night |
| (chorus) |
| Mama don’t wanna say goodbye |
| She said wipe those tears from your eyes |
| Mama I don’t wanna say goodbye |
| It was written in the Heavens and the skies above |
| Son I gave you birth showed you all my love |
| I can’t think of this life without you it’s hard to try |
| Mama I’m afraid to say goodbye |
| Now kids I’ve been hangin' on a long time |
| I hate to leave this world before your grown |
| Remember everything that I’ve taught you |
| Remember all the good times when I’m gone |
| (repeat chorus) |
| She whispered in my ear before she passed away |
| Son it’s time to be a man ain’t nothin' left to say |
| Jesus walked on water I know it’s true |
| When it comes time he’ll call you home |
| I hope your ready too |
| (repeat chorus) |
