LYRICS:
I remember the days when momma was strong
Her laughter and love carried us along
We’d dance in the kitchen, while the radio played
Now she slips away, heart breaking dismay
The laughter and memories, in my mind I freeze
Momma’s mind is drifting, like a leaf in the breeze
I’m losing the woman who was always my friend
But I’ll hold on to the love, that never will end
I can still hear her singing, those sweet lullabies
Holding me close wiping tears from my eyes
She taught me to ride, and tie my first tie
Now I am the teacher, though I try not to cry
Her smile was my sunshine on the darkest of days
But it fades like an old photograph into the haze
The laughter and memories, in my mind I freeze
Momma’s mind is drifting, like a leaf in the breeze
I’m losing the woman, who was always my friend
But I’ll hold on to the love, that never will end
I can still hear her singing, those sweet lullabies
Holding me close wiping tears from my eyes
I’ll cherish the memories, I’ll treasure the past
And as her mind fades, our love’s built to last
We’ll walk down this road, however hard and long
I’ll be there for momma, her rock, her song
And when she’s confused, and can’t find her way
I’ll guide her back home, and treasure each day
I’ll never forget, the momma I knew
And all the times that we have been through
Though dementia may take her, and our days grow thin
I remember the laughter, and the love that we’re in
I’m losing the woman, who was always my friend
But I’ll hold on to the love, that never will end
I can still hear her singing, those sweet lullabies
Holding me close wiping tears from my eyes
