Mama Why

(Oh mama why did God take my daddy cause I'd been good just
 like he said to be
I heard daddy pray dear Lord don't take me from them
Oh mama why did God take him from me)
Come here son you've asked mama somethin' that's even hard 
for me to understand
For there's one thing I do know
Daddy wouldn't gonna see those tears in the eyes of this 
big man
So stop cryin' now and listen real careful to every word 
mama has to say
You see son God picks the sweetest most beautiful flowers 
that grow
And he makes them the brightest shiniest stars that glow
Now daddy talk with the Lord every day and daddy and God'll
 be real close
So let's just say it seems that God takes the ones he loves
 the most
(Oh mama why did God take my daddy)
Son you haven't heard a word that mama said
So come on now let's say your prayers and mama tuck you in 
bed
And we must have questioned God cause he already has 
everything planned
And honey daddy can't ever come back to us though we can go
 to him
(Oh mama why did God take him from me)
