Mom, I still miss you every day You’re starting to fade I tried to remember Your face Your smile Your smell Your eyes I try to look into your eyes But all I see is pain And I’m scared that one day Even that will fade away I tried to remember Our last hug Our last conversation The last goodnight kiss But it’s all fading away I try my best to remember your voice But it sounds so far away I don’t remember your favorite food Or your favorite color How your touch felt It’s been so long I miss you, Mom It still hurts Even after all this time And I understand now Why you did the things you did Why you were the way you were Your life was hard You carried so much pain But I see it now You were hurting too And somehow, through it all You still had such a big heart People say it gets easier But I don’t think that’s true You just learn how to carry it When there’s nothing else to do And the longer you’ve been gone The more I seem to lose Not the love Not the pain Just the little things about I hate my birthday now I hate every holiday Because everyone is celebrating And all I feel is the hole you left behind Another year without you Another year you’re fading And somehow that hurts more Than it did yesterday And I understand now Why you did the things you did Why you were the way you were Your life was hard You carried so much pain But I see it now You were hurting too And somehow, through it all You still had such a big heart Even though you’re fading Somehow I can still feel your love In the quiet In the memories In the pieces I still hold And maybe I don’t remember everything Maybe some things are gone But the love you left behind Is still here Mom, I was thinking a little more about you today You’re starting to fade But somehow I can still feel your love
