Momma, please wrap your arms around me,
like the way you used to do,
Stroke my hair and tell me it’s gonna be alright,
tell me that you love me, too.
Please tell me that you don’t have to leave,
that you will always stay
Don’t leave me here to face this world alone...
Momma, please don’t go away.
Hold me close, just one more time,
and wipe away my tears.
Life is going to be awfully cold now
That you’ve gone and left me here.
I wasn’t ready to say good-bye...
You left me way to soon
I feel so alone and so empty...
Momma, please tell me what to do.
I want to open my eyes in the morning,
and see you smile at me one more time,
I want to hear you laugh out loud,
Momma, please, take this pain of mine.
I know that you had to leave me here,
Just kiss me one more time before you go,
And I’ll let you leave with a tear and a hug,
And bring you flowers in the snow...
Momma, you meant more to me than you’ll ever know.
