Mama I Love You

I said 'mama I love you'

She said I know you do

But I loved you longer

My heart held you 

Before I even could

I loved you already

Before you even would

Before we even met

My heart loved you plenty

When you didn't even know how to love yet

Then she said; but my dear

Although I loved you long before 

You will love me longer you see

Because when I'm gone

When I have passed

Your love will go on

Longer than I will last
