If I could have a lifetime wish
A dream that could come true
I'd pray to God with all my heart
For yesterday and you
A thousand words can't bring you back
I know because I've tried
And neither will a million tears
I know because I've cried
You left behind my broken heart
And happy memories too
I never wanted memories
I only wanted you
A million times I've needed you
A million times I've cried
If love alone could've saved you
You never would have died
In life I loved you deeply
In death I love you still
In my heart you hold a place
No one else will ever fill
It broke my heart to lost you
But you did not go alone
Part of me went with you
The day God took you home

We Hear Each Tear Fall From Her Face

Our mom doesn't know we're watching her
But we're watching her just the same
And we hear each tear fall from her face
At the very mention of our names

She says it sounds like music to her ears
And can be heard over a crowd
Oh, we hear each tear fall from her face
When our names are said aloud

We watch her stumble through each day
As she wishes the day would end
And we hear each tear fall from her face
As she talks of us to her friends

But there are few that truly understand
Oh, this we've heard her proclaim
And we hear each tear fall from her face
Will our mom ever be the same?

We know that her smiles can light up the day
but we don't see that smile today
Oh, but we hear each tear fall from her face
Her blue skies have turned to gray

Oh, we send to her our warmest hugs
With rays of the morning sun
Then we won't hear a tear fall from her face
For we shall erase them one by one

Yes, our mom doesn't know we're watching her
But we are watching her just the same
And if we hear a tear fall from her face
We'll just softly whisper her name
