Memories of My Mother (Afro Soul)

Oh, Mama, mama. I miss you. Oh, mama. I Miss you. When the night feels like forever, I still reach out for your hand. Every shadow on the ceiling Draws your face in broken strands. All the words I never told you, Mm, Echo quiet in my chest. In the silence, I remember, mm, How your heartbeat felt like rest. Every sunrise through my window paints your Picture in the sky. I can almost hear you laughing When the morning birds fly by. I keep talking to your photo, oh, Like you're standing in this room, Mm. But the answers never find me, Oh, only your memories. Oh, mama, I still feel you near me like the sunrise In the blue. Mama, I am so lost without you. Every light reminds me of you. Mama, Are you watching over me From a place beyond my view? Mama, All this aching in my heart. I sing this song, I sing for you. Mm. Oh, Mama. Mm. Oh. I've been learning how to breathe now In a world that feels so cold. Trying hard to keep the pieces Of the stories that you told. In the quiet of these walls, ooh, I can hear your favorite song. And my heart breaks on the rhythm, Mm, Of a love that stays so strong. I see traces of your kindness, In the people that I meet. Oh. In the gentle ways they hold me. Oh. In the smiles out on the street. Oh. I keep lighting little candles, Mm, hope they find their way to you. Mm, every flicker is a whisper. I still carry all your memories in me. Mama, I still feel you near me, Near me like the sunrise in the blue. Mama, I am so lost without you, without you. Every light reminds me of you. Mama, are you watching over me, Oh, from a place my view? Mama, All this aching in my heart. I sing this song, I sing for you. In the glow of early morning, When the world is turning new. I will hold you in the daylight, In the soft and faded hues. Every heartbeat writes a promise That my love will see this through. In the sunrise, I remember I am still a part of you. I still feel you near me, near me like The sunrise in the blue. Mama, I am so lost without you, Without Every light reminds me of you. Mama, Are you watching over me From a place beyond my view? Mama, All this aching in my heart. I sing this song, I sing for you. Oh, Mm. Oh, mama. I miss you, Mama. Oh, yeah. Oh, mama. I still feel you near me. Oh, mama. I am so lost without you.
