It's been too long since I've heard your voice The warmth of your words, your laughter, your choice
Mornings in the kitchen with the sun rising slow I miss you, mama, more than you'll ever know
Worked your fingers to the bone every day Putting food on the table, keeping darkness at bay
Taught me to be strong, showed me the light Now I'm missing you alone in the night
If I could have just one last time I'd hold you close, let your love shine
Thank you, mama, for being so strong Your memory's my guide till you're long gone
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, mama Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Every corner of this house carries your mark From the worn-out floorboards to the faded old park
The scent of your cooking lingers in the air, mama I'd give it all just to have you here
The quilts you stitch keep me warm at night Each thread a reminder of your gentle fight
You gave your all, I owe you my best In every prayer, you're my whispered request
If I could have just one last time I'd hold you close, let your love shine
Thank you, mama, for being so strong Your memory's my guide, though you're long gone
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, you're on
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
If I could have just one last time
I'd hold you close, let your love shine
Thank you, Mama, for being so strong
Memory is my guide, though you're long gone
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, long gone
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, you're long gone
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, you're long gone
Every corner of this house carries your mark
From the worn-out floorboards to the faded old park
The scent of your cooking lingers in the air
Thank you, Mama, I'd give it all just to have you here
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, you're long gone
