When your mother starts to scold you
|
She says it's cos I love you
|
Momma please don't cry
|
But it don't make matters better
|
When you resemble you father and you learn
|
That the alimonies run dry
|
|
Momma please don't cry
|
You know you'd never ask me why
|
I'll wipe the tears that flow from your eyes
|
And hold you like you're used to hold me
|
|
So she smiles but is she happy
|
She smiles but she ain't happy
|
Sadness still glistens in her eyes
|
When she thinks of that man who
|
She gave most of her life to
|
In her heart she feels like she would die
|
|
So you try to console her, she sees her baby's growing older
|
One day you'll rise up and take your leave
|
Then she'll stand by the window, looking pale as a shadow
|
Words of love faintly echo in her ear
|
|
