When Mom Left the Light

The house is quiet where your life used to stay

I still reach for your voice at the end of the day

Your chair by the window is empty and still

But I feel your love in the air and I always will

Mama you′re gone but you're living in me

In every small prayer

In every memory

My heart is broken

But I carry your name

Like a soft little flame

That will never go out

I fold your old sweater and hold back the tears

Your hands taught me courage through all of the years

Now I walk through the dark with your light in my chest

Missing you deeply, but trying my best

Mama, you're gone, but you're living in me

In every small prayer, in every memory

My heart is broken

But I carry your name

Like a soft little flame

That will never go out

If love could have kept you

You'd still be here

But heaven has borrowed

The one I hold dear

So I sing through the ache

And I whisper your name

Until I see you again

Until I see you again, nothing will be the same

Mama, you're gone, but you're living in me

In every small prayer, in every memory

My heart is broken, but I carry your name

Like a soft little flame
