Lyrics

I still have a tan line from your bracelet in the sun
From wandering up in Utah right before your days were done
Of all the things to outlive you, oh how could this be one?
You're barely gone and I'm barely hanging on
We planted a garden for the first time since we moved
With a little soil and water, hope they'll still be here in June
Lilies and Geraniums bring color to the lawn
But it's Mother's Day and I'm barely hanging on
I see you in every square inch of this house you left behind
Calling it a home now really doesn't fit it right
Seeing dad without you just reminds me what we lost
Cause you're barely gone, and we're barely hanging on
I'll spend the rest of my life blindly looking for a sign
I'll never quite get over, maybe used to it in time
At least I can wrap my feelings in a happy sounding song
But I miss you, mom, and I'm barely hanging on
Made the whole drive home while barely keeping my eyes dry
Sat and held your hand as these machines kept you alive
I'm just glad I made it before the doctor said you're gone
But I'm with you momma, thanks for hanging on
