From one of the last letters my mom wrote me

lyrics

Son call when you receive this, love you always and forever Mother Dearest
Son call when you receive this, love you always and forever Mother Dearest

Standing on the corner, in a rain soaked coat, in my pocket I keep our last note
And it warms my heart when you're so far away, I call you when I can just to hear you.
You haven't gone out of my sight today, or any other no matter where I look you're here to stay.
And forever is a long time to be on my mind. Some days its a burden, some days I'm fine.

Son call when you receive this, love you always and forever Mother Dearest
Son call when you receive this, love you always and forever Mother Dearest

Knocked on the door. There were strangers in my old home. Asked if any knew the way.
Nodded their heads and lead me on, to see your smile once again.
It's been too long since we last embraced, I don't remember the le lines on your face.
But until then I will keep this note safe, until then I will keep it warm in the rain.

Son call when you receive this, love you always and forever Mother Dearest
Son call when you receive this, love you always and forever Mother Dearest
Son call when you receive this, love you always and forever Mother Dearest
Son call when you receive this, love you always and forever Mother Dearest
