Mama
Don't forget the laughter
Our love is all that matters
You taught me how to dream
And now I'm gonna reach
All I wanna be
Mama
Remember all those hours
Walking through wildflowers
Out there - you and me
Those are the memories
I hope you always keep
It's still you inside your mind
Keen and sharp and eagle eyed
Like you were for my whole life
But now we're running out of time
You never wanted to complain
Found the best in everything
But I can see behind your eyes
You're struggling through this part of life
You're sad – I can see now
The candle's slowly burning out
Watching you, my heart is stirred
I hope you still get these words
Mama
Don't forget the laughter
Our love is all that matters
You taught me how to dream
And now I'm gonna reach
All I wanna be
Mama
Remember all those hours
Walking through wildflowers
Out there - you and me
Those are the memories
I hope you always keep
Your face is lined like tree rings
Marking years of chasing dreams
Your hands so used but still so strong
Held out pure love for so long
You've been my fire ever since
Strong enough to handle everything
But now I see behind your eyes
You're struggling through this part of life
You're sad – I can see now
The candle's slowly burning out
Watching you, my heart is stirred
I hope you still get these words
Mama
Don't forget the laughter
Our love is all that matters
You taught me how to dream
And now I'm gonna reach
All I wanna be
Mama
Remember all those hours
Walking through wildflowers
Out there - you and me
Those are the memories
I hope you always keep
