Mother Remember Me

Mother remember me

For all the good time that we had

Mother remember me

For all the times I made you laugh

Mother forgive me

For all the times I made you mad

Mother forgive me

For all the things that I’ve done bad

Mother remember me

For all the good times that we had

Like the time the apple rolled down the hill,

When it broke from your nap sack.

Or the time we walked the white beaches,

Looking for sea battered glass

And the time I danced that night

In my white shirt and voodoo mask.

Mother remember me

For all the times I made you laugh

Like the time you told that funny joke

And made milk squirt out my nose

Or the time you bought that camera

And I struck a funny pose

The time I drank my lemonade,

With sunglasses out on the backyard

Or the time we broke the swing outside

‘Cuz we were swinging it a bit too hard

Mother forgive me

For all the times I made you mad

Like the time I stole your yellow car,

Or when I broke your favorite vase,

Or the time I was a bit too clumsy,

And spilled my soda on your briefcase.

The time I did the laundry for you,

And didn’t realize I used bleach.

Or the time I hid your cigarettes,

And I placed them out of reach.

Mother forgive me

For that the things that I’ve done bad.

I didn’t know what I’d gotten myself into

I didn’t know I’d wind up like this.

That it’s your voice and smiling face

That would be the one thing that I’d miss

Mother forgive me

It seems that I’ve become your biggest fear

Please don’t cry a second

I’ll see you again in twenty-seven years

Mother remember me

For all the good time that we had

Mother remember me

For all the times I made you laugh

Mother forgive me

For all the times I made you mad

Mother forgive me

For all the things that I’ve done bad
