Mama, please don't go

Won't you stay here for one more day

I've been your boy for so long now

There's so much I, I still have to say

The sky ripped open and I held my heart in my hand

Like a soldier on his very last day

Cried myself to sleep that night

And I listened as I heard the angels sing

Sha la la

chorus:

Sha la la la,

La la la la

I'm goin' home

(repeat)

Something inside of me makes me scream

How could God take you from a little boy

You'll be alright he's by my side

He's not a little boy, he's my pride and joy

(chorus)

Summer on the radio, when the phone rang

And it was Jeanette

Saying boy we had to let her go

I beg, "No, no not yet"

You left six of us to fend for ourselves

Guess it's just part of someone's master plan

*We'll say you left cause you're my best friend

*You were a liar then, and that's my plan

The angels sing...

(chorus)
