Lyrics

I didn't know I didn't know the last time I hugged you Would be the last time If I had known I would've held on longer Now the world keeps moving But my heart My heart is still standing in that moment The house still looks the same But it don't feel like home Your chair still sitting there But you ain't sittin' on that throne I hear the clock ticking loud In the quiet of the room Every second reminds me You left too soon Sometimes I wake up reaching Thinking you're down the hall Then the silence hits me And I break and fall They say time heals the pain But they don't understand When a mother leaves this world A child loses their land Momma I still call your name in the night When the pain in my heart gets too heavy to fight Momma I still hear your voice in my mind Telling me baby everything gon' be fine But the tears keep falling Like rain in a storm Since heaven took you This world feels torn Momma I still need you here I tried to be strong today Like you taught me to be But grief walked in And sat down next to me I smelled your perfume In the kitchen air For a moment I turned Thinking you were there My mind knows the truth But my heart won't agree It keeps looking for the woman Who believed in me Sometimes I cry so hard I can barely breathe Because the arms that held me Are the arms I can't reach Momma I still call your name in the night When my soul feels too broken to fight Momma I still hear your prayers in my sleep And sometimes I wake up Just weeping and weeping The tears keep falling Like rain in a storm Since heaven took you This world feels torn Momma I still need you here They say grown men don't cry But they never lost a mother Cause when she leaves this earth Something inside you Leaves with her And no matter how old you are You're still her baby Momma I still whisper your name in the dark Trying to mend this shattered heart Momma I feel your love in the air But God knows I wish you were still here And every tear that falls from my eyes Is love that death could never disguise Momma I'll carry your love Until the day I come home to you.
