I called my mama yesterday
|
to wish her happy birthday
|
she said, Babe, your mama's getting old.
|
and I'm glad to be alive today.
|
You know, I'm 10 years cancer free
|
And I thank the good Lord everyday
|
But Marie's got it bad,
|
And honey, Patsy's passed away
|
|
She Said
|
A lifetime ain't no time at all
|
A lifetime ain't no time at all
|
|
As I listened to my mama's voice
|
I felt a chill pass right thru
|
I've seen the virus take the boys
|
I got friends that been sick too
|
I told her bout how Michael died
|
with his friends around him everyday
|
how we all took turns there by his side
|
and we helped him disappear that way.
|
|
a lifetime ain't no time at all.
|
a lifetime ain't no time at all.
|
|
Mama said well ain't we a mess,
|
Child we're full of life
|
and scared of death.
|
It must be hell to watch your friends die young,
|
but honey getting old now there's some fun
|
Life'd mean nothing if we didn't die
|
Laughter empty if we didn't cry
|
It's all the way it's supposed to be
|
It moves fast it's hard to see
|
|
cause a lifetime ain't no time at all
|
cause a lifetime ain't no time at all.
|
a lifetime ain't no time at all.
