D. Monell Edwards - I Miss You Mama Lyrics

I miss you mama
What feels far between
The house ain't the same
Your absence keenly seen
Your smile in photo frames
Echoes of your voice
A heart so full of love
You were everybody's choice
I miss you mama
More than words can say
The ache in my soul won't fade away
I miss you mama wishing you were here
A piece of me is gone
A love so deep and clear
Your nephews and nieces
Miss your playful gentle ways
Remembering how you made everyday feel okay
Your sisters and brothers gone
They leaned on each other tight
Cause you were gone
Trying to find the strength
In this long dark night
Your oldest grandson
He still struggles
We are all lost without your light
Your wisdom and your stories
Were our guiding stars so bright
Raghib and Haki carry stars so bright
And mama there's a granddaughter
A pretty girl you haven't met
She will always remember your name
She reminds me so much your daughter Tara
Stories of you live on
Your spirit in her smile
Your oldest Terry he carries the heaviest pain
But mama don't you worry
We'll lift him up again
We surround him with comfort
Just like you taught us how
Your love lifts on through us
And every promise every vow
I miss you mama more than words can say
The ache in my soul won't fade away
I miss you mama wishing you were here
A piece of me is all I'm so deep and clear
I miss you now
Say we'll always
We love you
We'll hold your memory close
Precious and so bright
You may be gone from sight
But never from our light
We'll carry your love forever in our hearts
And though this pain still lingers, a new day always starts
