Mama

Verse 1

Mama, I will never let you fade away,
My thoughts are always filled with you each day.
The warmth of your hands I still feel inside,
Without your embrace I cry at night.

Mama, you left me far too soon,
So much you still could have passed on and shown.
When you were gone from this wide world,
I felt completely lost and alone.

Mama, I never imagined life without you,
But slowly I learned what fate can do.
This is the path we’re given to walk,
I know you are near — my soul, my truth.

Chorus

Mama — you’re not just the first word I say,
Mama — you’re my whole wide world always.
Mama — I live on, I carry your name,
Mama — I loved you and always will, always.

Mama — you’re not just the first word I say,
Mama — you’re my whole wide world always.
Mama — I live on, I carry your name,
Mama — I loved you and always will, always.

Verse 2

Mama, I want to cry and scream in the night,
Trying to tell myself it’s alright.
But no, I know you won’t return,
I hold our memories, bright and tight.

Mama, so often my heart feels pain,
It aches and trembles again and again.
In this big world I feel so small,
I miss your warmth, your arms, your hand.

Mama, the years have quietly gone,
But I still remember how we shone.
You gave me a piece of your gentle light,
Without you, life feels so alone.

Chorus

Mama — you’re not just the first word I say,
Mama — you’re my whole wide world always.
Mama — I live on, I carry your name,
Mama — I loved you and always will, always.

Mama — you’re not just the first word I say,
Mama — you’re my whole wide world always.
Mama — I live on, I carry your name,
Mama — I loved you and always will, always.

Verse 3

Mama, you loved to speak of forever,
That the soul is what lives on ever.
Of something bright and pure and kind,
You were so gentle, warm and tender.

Mama, your laughter shone so clear,
And your warm eyes held me near.
Something quiet would wake inside,
I wanted to live, I kept you dear.

Mama, you taught us to be kind,
To love our family, heart and mind.
You never knew some stories end
With fewer souls left behind.

Chorus

Mama — you’re not just the first word I say,
Mama — you’re my whole wide world always.
Mama — I live on, I carry your name,
Mama — I loved you and always will, always.

Mama — you’re not just the first word I say,
Mama — you’re my whole wide world always.
Mama — I live on, I carry your name,
Mama — I loved you and always will, always.

Final Chorus

Mama — you’re not just the first word I say,
Mama — you’re my whole wide world always.
Mama — I live on, I carry your name,
Mama — I loved you and always will, always.
