I always knew I loved you, Mom,
From the day that I was born;
I just never knew how much
Until after you were gone.
My eyes tear up just thinking
That I never could express
The love for you deep in my heart
And I never will, I guess.
For now you’ve gone to heaven,
Oh, I hate we had to part.
And all the things I should have said
Are locked up in my heart.
I look for you every day
I listen for your voice.
If I could see you just once more
Oh, how I would rejoice!!!
My lonely soul would sing with joy!
My broken heart would smile!
If God would send you back to me
For just a little while.
