edwin mccain - letter to my mother lyrics

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
