|
It was an early summer day |
|
But it seems like just yesterday |
|
When mama looked right in my face |
|
And told me she was going away |
|
If I could count all the tears that |
|
I crid I'd be empty and lost inside |
|
So I'll try to find a smile |
|
And hold my head up high |
|
Moma said |
|
Don't cry |
|
I'm going away |
|
Up high Don't be afraid |
|
Be strong |
|
Just keep on holding on |
|
Mama said |
|
Don't cry |
|
Dry all the tears |
|
From your eyes |
|
Don't be afraid |
|
Be strong |
|
Just keep on holding on |
|
So young, but yet so wise |
|
So much beauty was in her eyes |
|
No one could quite explain |
|
Just why she had to face the pain |
|
But when the day comes and hits your time |
|
Only God knows the reason why |
|
She was my angel, my light, and my friend |
|
But one day we'll be together again |
|
But now that |
|
I know She has gone away |
|
Gone away, gone away |
|
There were days when |
|
I wish that |
|
I could run away |
|
Run away, run away |
|
And if I could there would be another summer day |
|
Summer day summer day |
|
When I could see my mother's face again |
|
Cause mama said |
|
Don't cry |
|
I'm goin away, way up high |
|
Don't be afraid |
|
Be strong |
|
Just keep on holding on |
|
Cause mama said |
|
Baby don't ya cry |
|
Just dry all the tears |
|
From your eyese |
|
Don't be afraid |
|
Be strong |
|
Just keep holding on |
|
And on and on and on and on and on |
|
Gone away, gone away , gone away |
|
Run away, run away, run away |
|
Summer day, summer day summer day |
|
Will see my mother's face again |
