Lyrics
Like You Were Years Ago
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Mom the tears are showing in your face and your steps are slowing with the time
Since daddy's gone away to live in heaven
I know you're lonesome for him I see heaven on your mind
Now the years have took away the roses that were in your cheeks not long ago
And time has wrapped your lovely hair in silver
But I still see you mom like you were years ago
Each day you look more lovely like an angel and soon you'll go to be with them I know
God loaned us part of heaven for a mama
As I look back and see you like you were years ago
Now the years have took...
I'll always see you mom like you were years ago
