Mama

Kelly Family · Best Of V.2 [2004]

Why did you have do die

When I was only at the age of 5

So suddenly you've gone

And I was left with answers hard to find



Now I think of you 'cause I'm in hunger for your warmth

That no one can replace

And I know that where I go

You're always by my side

I just want to let you know



Chorus:

Mama oh I miss you sometimes

Mama can you hear me when I cry

Mama oh I miss you sometimes

Mama can you hear me when I cry for you



Your spirit never dies

And all your words I treasure in my heart

You left me with a smile

But my cheeks aren't always dry for tears



Now I think...



Chorus
