Mother
- What I can't tell her now she's gone
Dedicated to the continuing memory of a wonderful person. (Read slow and dramatic)


I never told you that I loved you,
Though I often wish I had.
Now that you're gone from me forever,
I'm just left with feeling bad.

I never put my arms around you,
Quite the way it should have been.
So many things that I have done now.
All of them you should have seen.

The way you looked when I last knew you,
Is a picture I still see.
I cannot hear what you are saying,
But your words will comfort me.

So many things I should have told you.
Foolish pride got in the way.
And it's too late to put it right now.
I wish you were here today.
