I fight the tears since you've been gone
And I stand in fear, can I make it on my own
Without your love to guide me through my life
It's so cold at night without you here
And those gentle arms that held me close and dear
Oh, we're all the same, we all live and die

You'll always be in my heart
Oh, mama, don't you cry
You'll always live in my dreams
Oh, mama, don't you cry

Every night when I close my eyes
I see a light and shadows of your face
It's always there like an angel over me
So many frozen years hangin' on my wall
A thousand words, I can hear them call
Oh, I tried so hard, but I could never say goodbye

You'll always be in my heart
Oh, mama, don't you cry
You'll always live in my dreams
Oh, mama, don't you cry

No one can kiss away the pain like you
No one like mama, no one like you
You'll always be in my heart
Oh, mama, don't you cry
You'll always live in my dreams
Oh, mama, don't you cry

You'll always be in my heart
Oh, mama, don't you cry
You'll always live in my dreams
Oh, mama, don't you cry

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh...
Oh, mama, don't you cry
