Mama I Know Lyrics

It seems like only yesterday when I held you in my arms

watchin? you fall asleep so helpless without me

how I wish you remained a child and you needed me all the time

saw the world in your eyes even when you said goodbye

oh I wish I taught you well I guess only time would tell

Silently I would pray inside I wish you'd hear me say



Stay baby stay with me wish I could find a way

for you to stay with me

Stay baby stay with me go back to yesterday

when you were still here



Now yesterday seems so far away all your toys are put away

time for you to chase that rainbow find your own place in the sun

I pretend to be strong but it's so hard letting go

suddenly I feel cold I know you have to leave

the hardest part must come love is all I have left to give

silently I would pray inside I wish you'd hear me say



I wish we could go back to yesterday

when we were living on a prayer

a big part of me is gone cause home is where you belong

you needed me I needed you and we didn't need anyone

we were livin' so simple then and there was no place like home
