Lyrics
I almost called you again today Just to hear your voice. Then I remembered. Again. I was far, too far too often But you were always in my heart Through all the calls and little updates You stayed close inside my life Your name is still there in my phone Old messages I read in the dark I still wait for the screen to light up Like you might write me again You had your fire, that’s true But so much of you was giving You always said the honest things And loved without keeping score Mom, it hurts today And I don’t know what to do with that Sometimes I still hear your voice In the little things around me Mom, if you can hear me from there I just need you to know this I still love you like a child And that will never leave me I think about your long stories The way you laughed with everyone How you could talk to someone And make them feel less alone I think about the tiny moments The ones we barely notice then A message, some news, a “how are you?” And I still hear the sound of your voice I turned forty And I never thought I’d live this I thought I’d have you longer More years with you near me It’s strange how ready we think we are And how we never really are You can grow older your whole life And still be your mama’s little boy Mom, it hurts today And I don’t know what to do with that Sometimes I still hear your voice In the little things around me Mom, if you can hear me from there I just need you to know this I still love you like a child And that will never leave me I almost called you again today… So I sang this for you. Hoping somehow it reaches you.
