The Day The Lord Called Mama Home

Today I thought about you, as I always do,

I remember all the things we did,

life was so much fun ,

Things just haven't been the same

since you've been gone.

I remember the touch of your hand,

your voice soft and sweet,

I could always count on a loving hug

every time we would meet.

Every time that you would leave,

I would always cry,

I never dreamed that time you left

would be our last time.

I went to say goodbye to you and

hold you one more time,

I pulled you close to me and

then broke down and cried.

Then on that sad morning you finally slipped away,

your hand still in mine,

I trade everything I own to have you here with me

and hold you one more time.
