Lyrics
I still remember back when i was so young,
life was so sweet, cause you were my mamma.
I'm sure you still recall the first word i said,
or when i'd crawl in your bed, you'd hold my heart.
you were so scared you'd lose me,
like you did your sheila before.
you'd hold me, never scold me,
even when you knew i was wrong,
cause i was your son.
stay with me mamma
don't ever go
I still remember back when you were so young,
you were so sweet, you were my son.
I still remember the first word that you said,
you crawled into my bed, you called me mamma.
I was so scared that i'd lose you,
like i did my sheila before.
i'd hold you, tried not to scold you,
i did my best just to mold you.
stay with your mamma,
don't ever go
It always hurts me when you put yourself down,
walking around thinking your not the greatest.
you've got 3 kids who love you,
one looking down from above you,
and we're so scared that we'll lose you,
like we did our daddy before.
stay with us mamma,
don't ever go
I've got 3 kids who love me,
one looking down from above me
and i'm so scared that i'll lose them,
like i did my sheila before
stay with us mamma,
don't ever go
we still have memories of when we were so young
