Mother dear
I miss you so
Now that you've gone
Life is strange without you here
And I must be strong
You take with you
A piece of me
Never again just to

Hold you, hold you
Tell you I love you and hold you
Time was never enough

Life goes on
Without you dear
Nothing's the same
The days are hard, they linger on
Seems such a shame
I didn't take
Time enough
While you were here just to

Hold you, hold you
Tell you I love you and hold you
Time was never enough

I know you're still here
Here by my side, with me tonight
How I wish that I could hold you

Hold you (I wish you were here...)
Hold you (To hold mother dear...)
Tell you I love you and hold you
Time was never enough
