OR SO I'VE HEARD IT SAID
BUT I CAN STILL HEAR HER CRYING
AT NIGHT WHEN ALL OTHERS ARE IN BED
I WATCH HER LAY AWAKE AT NIGHT
AND GO TO HOLD HER HAND
SHE DOESN'T KNOW I'M WITH HER
TO HELP HER UNDERSTAND
BUT LIKE THE SANDS ON THE BEACH
THAT NEVER WASH AWAY...
I WATCH OVER MY SURVIVING MOM
WHO THINKS OF ME EACH DAY
SHE WEARS A SMILE FOR OTHERS
A SMILE OF DISGUISE
BUT THROUGH HEAVEN'S DOOR I SEE
TEARS FLOWING FROM HER EYES
MY MOM TRIES TO COPE WITH DEATH
TO KEEP MY MEMORY ALIVE
BUT ANYONE WHO KNOWS HER KNOWS
IT IS HER WAY TO SURVIVE
AS I WATCH OVER MY SURVIVING MOM
THROUGH HEAVEN'S OPEN DOOR
I TRY TO TELL HER THAT ANGELS
PROTECT HER FOREVER MORE
I KNOW THAT DOESN'T HELP HER
OR EASE THE BURDEN SHE BEARS
SO IF YOU GET A CHANCE, GO VISIT HER
AND SHOW HER THAT YOU CARE
FOR NO MATTER WHAT SHE SAYS
NO MATTER WHAT SHE FEELS
MY SURVIVING MOM HAS A BROKEN HEART
THAT TIME WON'T EVER HEAL

MOTHER, PLEASE DON'T MOURN ME
I'M STILL HERE, THOUGH YOU DON'T SEE ME
I'M RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE EACH NIGHT AND DAY
AND WITHIN YOUR HEART I LONG TO STAY
MY BODY IS GONE, BUT I'M ALWAYS NEAR
I'M EVERYTHING YOU FEEL, SEE OR HEAR
MY SPIRIT IS FREE, BUT I'LL NEVER DEPART
AS LONG AS YOU KEEP ME ALIVE IN YOUR HEART
I'LL NEVER WANDER OUT OF YOUR SIGHT
I'M THE BRIGHTEST STAR ON A SUMMER NIGHT
I'LL NEVER BE BEYOND YOUR REACH
I'M THE WARM MOIST SAND WHEN YOUR AT THE BEACH
I'M THE COLORFUL LEAVES WHEN FALL COMES AROUND
AND THE PURE WHITE SNOW THAT BLANKETS THE GROUND
I'M THE BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS OF WHICH YOU'RE SO FOND
THE CLEAR COOL WATER IN A QUIET POND
I'M THE FIRST BLOSSOM YOU'LL SEE IN SPRING
THE FIRST WARM RAINDROP THAT APRIL WILL BRING
I'M THE FIRST RAY OF LIGHT WHEN THE SUN STARTS TO SHINE
AND YOU'LL SEE THAT FACE IN THE MOON IS MINE
WHEN YOU START THINKING THERE'S NO ONE TO LOVE YOU
YOU CAN TALK TO ME THROUGH THE LORD ABOVE YOU
I'LL WHISPER MY ANSWER THROUGH THE LEAVES ON THE TREES
AND YOU'LL FEEL MY PRESENCE IN THE SOFT SUMMER BREEZE
I'M THE HOT SALTY TEARS THAT FLOW WHEN YOU WEEP
AND THE BEAUTIFUL DREAMS THAT COME WHEN YOU SLEEP
I'M THE SMILE YOU SEE ON A BABY'S FACE
JUST LOOK FOR ME, MOM, I'M EVERYPLACE
