Sitting here thinking 'bout the good times
Sitting here thinking 'bout what you've been through
It only seems like yesterday
That I held your hand and I nursed you
It's been one hell of a ride
And I'm so glad it's over
The time had come to say goodbye
I've said it once and I'll say it twice
Oooh oooh

Mama don't you cry (mama don't you cry)
I told you everything is gonna be alright
Mama don't you cry (mama don't you cry)
I promise you I'll meet you on the other side
Mama don't you cry, cry, cry
Cry, cry, cry, yeah

I know that I told you everything (everything)
Yet I feel it wasn't quite enough (quite enough)
I don't think I ever told you this (no
That you will be so sadly missed
Now that you're gone (now that you're gone)
I'm feeling all alone (I'm feeling all alone)
I remember that you said

Baby don't you cry (baby don't you cry)
I told you everything is gonna be alright
Baby don't you cry (baby don't you cry)
I promise you I'll meet you on the other side
Baby don't you cry, cry, cry
Cry, cry, cry, yeah

Yeah, as a tear rolls down my face, I'm thinking how precious life is
And how a bright morning transforming into the night quick
It's true you ain't know what you have 'til it's gone
So now we pouring out our soul on the song, I gotta say somethin'
Yo mrs. Brook, yeah I'm looking after your daughter
I'mma give her everything and I promise that I'll support her
And please don't worry 'bout us, I know we in your prayers
And you'll forever be in mine, in Jesus name, amen
So strong from the beginning, used the time that you had left
Blessed to be in your presence, held your hand for your last breath
Finally you're at peace, the suffering is over
And I'm smiling because now your little girl has an angel on her shoulder
I'm not religious but I feel I'm kinda spiritual
Believe a better place is awaiting beyond the physical
Appreciating every moment that I ever spent with you
So keep on singing baby, I know your mama be hearing you
Uh huh, yeah, so keep on singing baby, I know your mama be hearing you

Mama don't you cry (mama don't you cry)
I told you everything is gonna be alright
Mama don't you cry (mama don't you cry)
I promise you I'll meet you on the other side
Mama don't you cry, cry, cry
Cry, cry, cry, yeah

Mama don't you cry no more
Yeah, don't you cry no more, yeah, yeah
