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) |
