Goodbye Mum I had to say
Last December on a winter's day
Everyone was telling me it was for the best
But for me it felt like an unwelcome guest
I miss you more than I can express
I'll love you forever, more or less
Getting told to try and move on
Is very hard as now you are gone
I know you're in the heavens above
Looking down on me with undying love
I try and reach out and hold you near
For you to whisper in my ear
I'll remember the good times we always had
Remember the woman I love like mad
I'll keep you close each and every day
And if I need to talk to you, I will pray
One day we'll meet again
Until that time all I can say is amen
Having you as a Mum was a great pleasure
And the word Mum I will always treasure
