Mama's Lullaby

Mom, I've never been through this before So please forgive me if I flood the floor You were so alive, you were so well Laughin', yellin', smilin' till your health fell Stubborn as an ox, proud as a lion A fantastic mother and always a-buyin Three weeks of sickness and sirens sound I can hear your lullaby as they take you to town I love you in the morning, in the afternoon I love you every second, every minute of the day Cause I, oh I, I love you Cause I, oh I, I love you Mom, I've never seen you like this Just prayin' you'll pull through as I give you a kiss Surrounded by lifelines, surrounded by tears Losing you, mama, is our biggest fear I love you in the morning, in the afternoon I love you every second, every minute of the day Cause I, oh I, I love you Cause I, oh I, I love you Mom, can you hear me? I love you Squeeze my hand if you love me too My knuckles cracked as her hand closed on mine I knew right then that mama would be fine I love you in the morning, in the afternoon I love you every second, every minute of the day Cause I, oh I, I love you Cause I, oh I, I love you Cause I, oh I, I love you
