Like You Were Years Ago

Mom the years are showing in your face
And your steps are slowing with the time
Since daddy's gone away to live in heaven
I know you're lonesome for him I see heaven on your mind

Now the years have took away the roses
That were in your cheeks not long ago
And time has wrapped your lovely hair in silver
But I still see you mom like you were years ago

Each day you look more lovely like an angel
And soon you'll go to be with them I know
God loaned us part of heaven for a mama
As I look back and see you like you were years ago

Now the years have took away the roses...
I'll always see you mom like you were years ago
