Mama I know
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
