Laying there in your bed, sick another day
Wonder what it is you're thinking, is there something I should say?
It pains me to see you like this, getting worse and worse
I know a part of me will die real hard the day you're in a hearse
For all the things I've said and done I'd like to apologize now
If I could only take them back, I'd do so if I knew how
I sit here crying worrying I could lose you, the greatest thing of all
And when it's time for you to leave me, who knows how hard I'll fall
I'm not ready to lose you Mom, I love so much
But, I know there'll come a day, you'll slip from my clutch
I'm sorry I didn't let you tell her goodbye before she had gone
I didn't think it'd be so bad, she wasn't going to be long
Please don't leave it isn't time you have to stay longer
For I am weakening and you're the one whom starts to make me stronger
My head is hurting, the room is spinning, and I don't know what to do
If I could, I'd take you in my arms, and tell you how much I love you
I know that I am being selfish, wanting my own way
But, I really hope it isn't near, I beg for you to stay
I can't do this alone, I need you here with me
For without you it's the darkest night, and there's nothing I can see
I'm sorry for all the times I snapped, even though I couldn't understand
I shoulda just smiled and did it knowing that you had only wanted my hand
I'm sorry about all the complaining I've done, even if you never heard it
Because now here I am crying aloud right here where I sit
God, I ask you spare her one more time, even if this is the last
I promise to do better by her far more than I did in the past
She's still needed, her work isn't done, please it isn't time
I know it isn't right of me, but, Lord, please... She's mine.
