[Intro]
Ay-iy-iy-iy-iy
Eh-ye-eh-ye-eh-ye-eh
Mama, this one's for you, yeah

[Verse]
In the morning, I wake up and I reach for the phone
But there's no voice on the other end, no familiar tone
I trace your picture and I feel the tears start to flow
Though you're gone, I still feel you with me wherever I go, yeah

[Chorus]
Mama, you're the rhythm in my heartbeat
Even though you're gone, you're never truly far
In the echoes of my laughter, in the quiet of the night
Your love surrounds me, guiding me through this dark

[Verse 2]
I find your scent in the old family clothes
And I hear your laughter when the wind gently blows
Your recipes in the kitchen, your touch in the air
Even though you're not here, I know you're always near

[Pre-Chorus]
I light a candle, say a prayer to the stars
In this dance of memories, we're never really apart

to the stars
In this dance of memories, we're never really apart

[Chorus]
Mama, you're the rhythm in my heartbeat
Even though you're gone, you're never truly far
In the echoes of my laughter, in the quiet of the night
Your love surrounds me, guiding me through this dark

[Bridge]
Ay-iy-iy-iy-iy, your spirit dances in the rain
Eh-ye-eh-ye-eh-ye-eh, in every joy, I feel your pain
Ay-iy-iy-iy-iy, you're the sun that lights my day
Eh-ye-eh-ye-eh-ye-eh, in every step, you lead the way

[Verse 3]
I visit your grave, lay flowers down with care
But I know your love transcends the earthly layer
The sadness lingers, like a slow dance in the hall
Yet, your memory lifts me up whenever I fall

your memory lifts me up whenever I fall

[Pre-Chorus]
I light a candle, say a prayer to the stars
In this dance of memories, we're never really apart

[Chorus]
Mama, you're the rhythm in my heartbeat
Even though you're gone, you're never truly far
In the echoes of my laughter, in the quiet of the night
Your love surrounds me, guiding me through this dark

[Outro]
Ay-iy-iy-iy-iy, the sad dancehall fades away
Eh-ye-eh-ye-eh-ye-eh, but your essence forever stays
Mama, this one's for you, yeah, in my heart, you'll forever play
