Mama Don't Fade Away

Don't fade away. Don't leave us in silence. Mama. Ooh. Don't fade away. Don't leave us in silence. Mama. I still hear your footsteps in the hall at Night, even though I know you're gone. I still turn around when someone says my name, Like somehow you'll call me home. Your sweater still hangs beside the doorway, Like you're coming back someday. But the house feels colder without your voice, And nothing feels the same. They told me time will make it easier. But time just makes me miss you more. So I kept your voice alive, inside every Song I sing. Every note is just a piece of you, Still holding on to me. If I close my eyes, I swear I hear You breathe. So I'll never let you fade. I kept your voice alive In me. Mm. Ooh. Mm, I tried to be stronger after you left, Like somehow I had to survive. Tried to protect what was left of this home When everything broke inside. Sometimes I still hear you whisper softly, "Son, everything's all right." So I keep your memory close to my heart. Every single night. People say the pain gets smaller with time. But I still need you here. So we kept your voice alive, inside every Word we write. Every broken melody keeps you by our Side. If love don't end, then you're still in our Lives. So we'll never say goodbye. We kept your voice alive. Ah. Ah. I still see you dancing in the kitchen light, Before the sickness stole your smile. God knows I woulda traded all I had, Just to keep you here a while. And watching our children cry without you, Was the hardest thing to bear. But I tell them, "Your mama never left, Her love is everywhere." And heaven may have called your name before us. But your love still fills this home. Still this home. If I stop singing. Will I lose your voice? If I stop remembering. Do I lose my choice? No, she lives inside us. In every prayer, every tear, every song. So we kept your voice alive, inside every Song we sing. Every scar and every memory means you're still with Me. If love don't end, then you're still in our Lives. So we'll never say goodbye. Mama. I still need you. I still hear your voice. My love. Until we meet again. We kept your voice alive. We kept your voice alive. We kept your voice alive.
