Mother, dry your eyes why do you cry those tears?

You knew someday your baby'd be a man

Letting go is hard when it's forever dear

I know it's late, but now I understand

If I could hold your hand one more time

And hear your lullabies just like before

I know that I did wrong,

so I'm singing you this song

Mother, I won't see you anymore

Son, I wish you knew how much we're missing you

I saw them cry their tears from up above

I try to tell them, but the words

aren't getting through

I didn't mean to hurt the ones I love

Mother, Father, I hope to see you soon

And things will be just like they were before

I'm sending all my love, I'm watching from above

And I'll be in your hearts forever more
