Cowboy Mouth - Maureen lyrics
[Cowboy Mouth - Maureen lyrics]
My mom had a stroke awhile back and
This is a song I wrote
When she was still in the hospital
It's a cool, warm morning on a January day
And for the first time
I've got nothing to say
So, I slowly eat my breakfast as
They talk about the game
And I pray you might have spoken my name
And everybody wants to go on laughing
When everything says it might be time to cry
But I feel alive, see it inside my eyes
The saddest eyes you've ever seen
And I can't let go of someone I need to know
It's not time for you to
Go, so don't leave me
Maureen
When the sun awoke this morning
And gently touched my face
For a moment, I didn't recognize this place
So, I looked inside the mirror and
Who'd you think I'd see
The very best parts of you staring at me
And everybody wants to go on laughing
When everything says it might be time to cry
But I feel alive, see it inside my eyes
The saddest eyes you've ever seen
And I can't let go of someone I need to know
It's not time for you to
Go, so don't leave me
Maureen
Well, about two weeks later
She died and in the midst of
All the sadness and the heartache
I was glad about one thing
I was glad that I'd taken the
Time to tell my parents just
How much I love them whenever
I could You see, the
The
People in your life
The people in your life that you love
Well, you gotta let them know how
You feel cause one day
That opportunity, it's gonna be gone
And everybody wants to go on living
When everything says it might be time to die
But I feel alive, I see it inside my eyes
The saddest eyes you've ever seen
And I won't let go of someone I need to know
It's not time for you to go
So don't leave me
(don't leave me)
Don't leave me (don't leave me)
Don't leave me (don't leave me) , Maureen
