i see your sadness swelling in your eyes
that one call, you broke out and cried
just a memory but she'll always be there
even though shes gone she'll always care

dry your tears, dont you cry
ima be here and tell you why
mama is dead but she aint gone
she'll always be there if you hold on

i understand she was all you got
but just dont sit there untill you rot
mama is gone but your not apart
she'll always have a place for you in her heart

dry your tears, dont you cry
ima be here and tell you why
mama is dead but she aint gone
she'll always be there if you hold just on

i know how you feel i lost a loved one too
the lasts words she said was "ill always love you"
i kept her close i kept her near
even though id breakup in tears

dry your tears, dont you cry
i understand how it is but you have to try
mama is gone to the heavens above
she'll be in your heart knowing shes loved
though shes gone and it breaks you in two
just remember mama's apart of you

powerful. moving. quixotic.
