[1st Verse:] 
As I sit and think about yesterday 
I feel the pain inside (oh yeah) 
All the troubles that burden my mind 
They can't be pushed inside 
 
So I'm counting on your love to guide me home 
Thought these chapters of my life (uh huh) 
You're my angel through the storm 
(And you know I'll always love ya) 
You're what keeps me going strong 
 
[Chorus:] 
Don't you know that mama ya k now I love ya 
And if I could I'd build my world around ya 
Why did ya have to go away 
I'm missing all those sunny days 
You see they came and go but still these empty feelings 
Goes on and on dear lord I pray for healing 
Wishing that you never went away 
Nowl ike just ain't gonna be the same 
 
[2nd Verse:] 
Even though you're not 
Here with me today 
I still feel you around me 
In every singe way 
 
Missin' the times that you would hold me close  
When I needed you the most (oh yeah) 
Wiped the teardrops from my eyes 
And walked with me through the storms of life 
 
[Chorus:] 
Don't you know that mama ya k now I love ya 
And if I could I'd build my world around ya 
Why did ya have to go away 
I'm missing all those sunny days 
You see they came and go but still these empty feelings 
Goes on and on dear lord I pray for healing 
Wishing that you never went away 
Nowl ike just ain't gonna be the same 
 
[Bridge:] 
I loved ya enough to let you go 
'Cuz your spirit will live on and on 
I put all my faith inside of you 
So you'll know my love is strong 
 
And your soul it lives within me 
For all eternity 
(It lives on and on and on) 
(And you know I'll always love you)
