| I remember when I was five
|
| Runnin' round, happy just to be alive
|
| I’d cry whenever you left
|
| Thought you weren’t coming back
|
| See, Daddy wasn’t there
|
| I remember when I was ten
|
| Hiding in the kitchen just to hear you sing
|
| You’d smile when I sang along
|
| Belting out the new Al Green song
|
| I’m so thankful God sent me to you
|
| Times were tough but you pulled us right through
|
| And I think about you every day, every day
|
| And, Momma, straight from my heart
|
| I wanna thank you
|
| I remember when I was sixteen
|
| Dodging trouble, chasing dreams
|
| You were there to cheer me on
|
| Pick me up when everything went wrong
|
| I’m so thankful God sent me to you
|
| Times were tough but you pulled us right through
|
| And I think about you every day, every day
|
| And, Momma, straight from my heart
|
| I wanna thank you
|
| Here I am, a man all grown
|
| Settled down, got some kids of my own
|
| Sometimes I remind me of you
|
| Puts a smile on my face when I do
|
| I’m so thankful God sent me to you
|
| Times were tough but you pulled us right through
|
| And I think about you every day, every day
|
| And, Momma, straight from my heart
|
| I wanna thank you
|
| And, Momma, straight from my heart
|
| I wanna thank you
|
| Thank you, thank you, Momma |
