Mama

I wish my mama could have met you

She would’ve liked the way you sing her favorite song

I wish our mamas could have met too

I like to think that they would get along

Oh if there was a way

To take you through the haze

And meet her on the other side

I wonder what she’d say

Bout all the plans we’ve made

I hope that she’d be glad you’re mine

I wish my mama could have met you

I’m feeling sure I really love you

Your grandma even calls me daughter-in-law

Now we’ve been talking bout a big move

Still know her number and I wish I could call

Cuz we’re standing on the edge

Of what we know is next

When daughters really need their moms

When I give you my hand

And We’re sharing our first dance

She should be there swaying along

Haa Haa

I never really could believe

Haa Haa

You’ll never know this part of me

I wish my mama could have met you

Now looking back at all we’ve been through

Feels like a lifetime you’ve been here in my arms

I know my mama would’ve loved you

And trusted you to carry my heart

Haa Haa

You’ll never get a chance to meet

Haa Haa

But you’ve met the part of her in me
