I called my mama yesterday |
|
to wish her happy birthday |
|
she said, Babe, your mama's getting old. |
|
and I'm glad to be alive today. |
|
You know, I'm 10 years cancer free |
|
And I thank the good Lord everyday |
|
But Marie's got it bad, |
|
And honey, Patsy's passed away |
|
She Said |
|
A lifetime ain't no time at all |
|
A lifetime ain't no time at all |
|
As I listened to my mama's voice |
|
I felt a chill pass right thru |
|
I've seen the virus take the boys |
|
I got friends that been sick too |
|
I told her bout how Michael died |
|
with his friends around him everyday |
|
how we all took turns there by his side |
|
and we helped him disappear that way. |
|
a lifetime ain't no time at all. |
|
a lifetime ain't no time at all. |
|
Mama said well ain't we a mess, |
|
Child we're full of life |
|
and scared of death. |
|
It must be hell to watch your friends die young, |
|
but honey getting old now there's some fun |
|
Life'd mean nothing if we didn't die |
|
Laughter empty if we didn't cry |
|
It's all the way it's supposed to be |
|
It moves fast it's hard to see |
|
cause a lifetime ain't no time at all |
|
cause a lifetime ain't no time at all. |
|
a lifetime ain't no time at all. |
