Close your eyes mamma it's late

I will stay with you til morning

It's role reversal so it seems

Crept up on us without a warning

Pull the covers up it's cold

I will hold you don't you worry

I need you here so don't let go

hang on! there's no need to hurry

Remember back when I was small

You would push me send my flying

and here I am grown up and tall

lying beside you dying, crying

I'll hold your hand mamma don't cry

I will be here til your last day

I can't help you don't ask why

Why it couldn't be some otherway
