It was a winters day
|
When I heard the phone ring
|
It was my brothers voice
|
He said come on home
|
He said mom is dying
|
He started crying
|
I felt the pain, I felt that pain
|
I knew inside I had to get there
|
I didn't know how, I just had to get there
|
|
Why she had to leave this place behind
|
Knowing that we'd all be hurt
|
Life is so hard to bear
|
Tell me what your reasons are for my despair
|
|
Blue moon over Brooklyn
|
Never saw such a light shining down on me
|
|
I was all alone the night I flew home
|
I was going insane, I felt to blame
|
My heart was beating, do you know that feeling?
|
I didn't want to be late, Lord, hope she'll wait
|
|
Why she had to leave this place behind
|
Knowing that we'd all be hurt
|
Life is so hard to bear
|
Tell me what your reasons are for my despair
|
|
Blue moon over Brooklyn
|
Never saw such a light shining down on me
|
My mama told me, son you better shop around
|
Postman comes once, lucky if he comes again
|
You've gotta be nice, take my advice
|
It's time to go, Mama, I miss you so
|
