Text: Edwin McCain. Far From Over. Letter To My Mother.
Mama, how do I write the words to you?
You were the only one who loved me true
But there?s a woman that we don?t even know
She gave me life, then you gave me a home
I love you, Mama but I want to tell her too
Is that her little boy still loves you
I close my eyes, does she look like me
Does she need my help, is she cold on the street?
Am I forgotten like a bad childhood dream
A B-movie actor on the black and white screen?
I love you, Mama but I want to tell her too
Is that her little boy still loves you
Is that her little boy still loves you
Could I have seen her, I?ll never know?
Maybe she?s always been there watching me grow
I wanted to tell her how grateful I am
For giving me life, I?ve done the best that I can
I love you, Mama but I want to tell her too
Is that her little boy still loves you
Her little boy still loves you
You were the only one who loved me true
But there?s a woman that we don?t even know
She gave me life, then you gave me a home
I love you, Mama but I want to tell her too
Is that her little boy still loves you
I close my eyes, does she look like me
Does she need my help, is she cold on the street?
Am I forgotten like a bad childhood dream
A B-movie actor on the black and white screen?
I love you, Mama but I want to tell her too
Is that her little boy still loves you
Is that her little boy still loves you
Could I have seen her, I?ll never know?
Maybe she?s always been there watching me grow
I wanted to tell her how grateful I am
For giving me life, I?ve done the best that I can
I love you, Mama but I want to tell her too
Is that her little boy still loves you
Her little boy still loves you
