I couldn't sleep last night

There was somethin' on my mind

I lay there wishin' in the dark

Someone could tell me why

If you love somebody

from the bottom of your heart

Why do you hurt each other

How does it fall apart?



An' then I heard a voice

as she sat down on my bed

And I can still remember 

The words my mama said



Chorus:

Love can give, love can take

Love can bend and love can break

When you think it's over, it's not the end

Don't give in, just be strong

And please remember son, my mama said

There ain't no broken heart love cannot mend



My mama said, no one knows

What your life has got in store

You may go walking on the moon

You may be rich or poor

But I know for certain

If you try to reach the stars

Anything is possible

Your dreams are what you are



But when it comes to matters of the heart

There is no guarantees

All that I can say to you

Is what my mama said to me



chorus:

So one day in my lifetime

When my world falls apart

I won't cry, I'll just tell my heart

My heart...........



Chorus:

Love can give, love can take

Love can bend and love can break

When you think it's over, it's not the end

Don't give in, just be strong

And please remember son, my mama said

There ain't no broken heart love cannot mend

There ain't no broken heart love cannot mend
