~ ♥ “A Mother and Her Child” ♥ ~

Verse 1

Last Christmas was the last time

I held you in my arms so tight

Family gathered ‘round us

While the fire warmed the night

But the candles burned down slowly

And you drifted out of sight

Now every road feels empty

Every dawn just steals the light

 

Chorus

Just a mother and her child,

The love of a mother never lost the feeling of her child

She keeps writing through the darkness

To the place where you have gone

Says she hears you in the silence

On a journey moving on

You’re free now from the shadows

But you left us in the wild

Just a mother and her child,

The love of a mother never lost the feeling of her child

 

Verse 2

She spends days and nights in letters

Says she sees you in her dreams

Talks to you across the distance

Across the spaces in between

And I’m standing here beside her

Trying hard to understand

How to keep on living forward

Without holding your sweet hands

 

Chorus

Just a mother and her child,

The love of a mother never lost the feeling of her child

She keeps writing through the darkness

To the place where you have gone

Says she hears you in the silence

On a journey moving on

You’re free now from the shadows

But you left us in the wild

Just a mother and her child,

The love of a mother never lost the feeling of her child

 

Bridge

If heaven hears a heartbeat

I hope it carries mine to you

’Cause this life feels so much colder

Without your laughter shining through

But I’ll keep on walking somehow

Even if I walk alone

’Til the day that we can meet again

And I can take my boy back home

 

Final Chorus

Just a mother and her child,

The love of a mother never lost the feeling of her child

She keeps writing through the darkness

While I whisper to the sky

You are free now in the sunlight

But we’re left here asking why

Still your love keeps us together

Through the heartbreak and the trial

Just a mother and her child,

 

The love of a mother never lost the feeling of her child
