VERSE:
Hey mama, I miss you
Though you're sitting here beside me
As we watch the evening news.
Hey mama, I love you
and I miss the way it used to be
Before your aging body took your memory
away from you, and me.
VERSE:
Hey mama, do you remember,
when you dressed me up for school
you put a ribbon in my hair?
Hey mama, are you sleeping?
Let me take your glasses from your hand,
it's time to get up and go to bed
the news is over. C'mon mama.
BRIDGE:
Please don't go, don't fade from me.
There's so much you haven't told me,
and so much I'd like to know.
We took time for granted.
You said heroes never die?

VERSE:
Hey mama, do you recall?
The time I was so very ill
you were worried, I wouldn't make it.
Yes mama, I'm staying home tonight.
I repeat so patiently
'cause your memory's not what it used to be
so I'll tell you again, I'll be home tonight.
BRIDGE:
Please don't go, don't fade from me.
There's so much you haven't told me,
and so much I'd like to know.
We took time for granted.
You said heroes never die?
VERSE:
Hey mama, hold me.
Take me in your fragile arms
and cradle my fears of the future.
Hey mama, I'll miss you.
Even those smokey cigarettes,
you tried to quit, I won't forget you
mama, say you remember me.
C'mon mama, say you remember me.
