A Song For Mama

Sunday afternoon, went to the cemetery accompanied by Nang Bebot and her daughter, Jenny to visit mom. Its mother’s day … the first since she left and I can’t believe I’ll be counting them year per year. We brought flowers and all offered a small prayer, I was told that she’s settled wherever she is and not worried about me because she hasn’t manifested anywhere … no dreams for me about her and all that.

You taught me everything,
And everything you’ve given me, I’ll always keep it inside.
You’re the driving force in my life, yeah.
There isn’t anything or anyone that I can be,
And it just wouldn’t feel right,
If I didn’t have you by my side.
You were there for me to love and care for me,
When skies were grey.
Whenever I was down,
You were always there to comfort me.
And no one else can be what you have been to me,
You’ll always be,
You will always be the girl in my life for all times.

CHORUS:
Mama, Mama you know I love you,
(Oh, you know I love you),
Mama, Mama you’re the queen of my heart.
Your love is like tears from the stars.
Mama, I just want you to know,
Lovin’ you is like food to my soul.

You’re always down for me,
Have always been around for me,
Even when I was bad.
You showed me right from my wrong,
(Yes you did).
And you took up for me,
When everyone was downin’ me,
You always did understand,
You gave me strength to go on.
There was so many times,
Looking back when I was so afraid.
And then you come to me and say to me,
I can face anything.
And no one else can do,
What you have done for me.
You’ll always be,
You will always be the girl in my life.

REPEAT CHORUS.

Never gonna go a day without you.
Fills me up just thinking about you.
I’ll never go a day without my Mama.

REPEAT CHORUS.

This was the song during mom’s funeral and everytime I hear it I can’t help for the tears to fall, when this plays continuously on my playlist its my uncle’s cue that am crying again. Can’t help it. My classmates now who knew of what happened to her said its a good thing I’ve moved on. Right, because the bubbly me is always to the fore when am at school so I look like the happiest girl in the world. So ironic. If only they knew.
