Mama, are you singing now? Abby sent a book to me on heaven I always brought those plastic flowers And you'd feign that same surprise Are you with your mother now? She's not been around since '97 Cried for both of you for hours Was I still three in your eyes? You loved, you loved, you loved, you loved You loved, you loved, you loved me Like no one has, like no one will Like no one does, you loved me I wish I'd spoke, not let you sleep If I could tell you one thing It's that this seed you planted deep Has not just grown for nothing Dad and I are driving West Gonna show him around California What you kept beneath your chest We're gonna carry that fire for ya
