Mommy dearest don't you cry
Don't you weep and don't you sigh
His time was up, the time flew by
The good lord took him, don't ask why.
Mommy dearest I miss him so
I miss his laughs, I miss his jokes
But most of all I miss his love
Now he rests with God above.
Mommy dearest I'm here for you
I'll make sure you make it through
Take my hand and walk inside
Where we can see him one last time
He was your father, you knew him best
Now his soul has gone to rest
Last thing I ever heard him say
Was not to worry about him that day.
Now he's lifeless laying there
In the casket, my despair
Something's missing, something's gone
He looks so final, looks so wrong
Mommy dearest look away
When they place him in the grave
I can cry the tears for YOU
If you'll help me make it too
Now he's gone, a lifeless shell
He's sitting in heaven, not in hell
What used to be that sweet old man
Is now as lifeless as the sand
Pale as death, and death does grip
The icy ends of his fingertips
He's laying there and all I see
Is the empty shell of what used to be...
Mommy dearest don't you cry
Mommy dearest don't you sigh
Mommy dearest walk with me
Free yourself from misery.
"A few more steps to heaven's gates"
He climbed the ladder, with good faith
He finally made it, so it ends
But as for HIM, the story begin's
No more tears, he will ever cry
No more cancer, after he died
He's forgiven of all sin
And I'm SURE he can walk again
Mommy dearest please don't cry
He can see us anytime
He may be gone, from this old earth
But he's been given another birth
Another chance at life so cruel
Only without the sea of fools
Mommy dearest, he's no longer weak
He's sitting in heaven as we speak.
