[1st Verse:]

As I sit and think about yesterday

I feel the pain inside (oh yeah)

All the troubles that burden my mind

They can't be pushed inside



So I'm counting on your love to guide me home

Thought these chapters of my life (uh huh)

You're my angel through the storm

(And you know I'll always love ya)

You're what keeps me going strong



[Chorus:]

Don't you know that mama ya k now I love ya

And if I could I'd build my world around ya

Why did ya have to go away

I'm missing all those sunny days

You see they came and go but still these empty feelings

Goes on and on dear lord I pray for healing

Wishing that you never went away

Nowl ike just ain't gonna be the same



[2nd Verse:]

Even though you're not

Here with me today

I still feel you around me

In every singe way



Missin' the times that you would hold me close 

When I needed you the most (oh yeah)

Wiped the teardrops from my eyes

And walked with me through the storms of life



[Chorus:]

Don't you know that mama ya k now I love ya

And if I could I'd build my world around ya

Why did ya have to go away

I'm missing all those sunny days

You see they came and go but still these empty feelings

Goes on and on dear lord I pray for healing

Wishing that you never went away

Nowl ike just ain't gonna be the same



[Bridge:]

I loved ya enough to let you go

'Cuz your spirit will live on and on

I put all my faith inside of you

So you'll know my love is strong



And your soul it lives within me

For all eternity

(It lives on and on and on)

(And you know I'll always love you)
