There was once in my life something frightening happened
C
Someone close to me died, Left me all abandoned
G D
I Dont know why, but its on my mind
Em
I was six years old when my mother left me
C G
All confused when they told me that I could never see her again
D
No, never again
Em
And 42 years later I&rsquo m still sitting here
C
Little hard to breath when I&rsquo m thinking of her
Em D
Dont know why, but she&rsquo s on my mind
Em
How my life would be like, would I be more like her
C
Would my life had turned out to be so much better
Em D
Dont know why, but its on my mind
C
Dont know nothing of her but what my father told me
Em
And my memories failed me when I was growing older
D
And little by little, she was fading away
C
But when I look at my life in my back view mirror
Em
I see it wasn&rsquo t all bad, some part would have been better

But I&rsquo ve grown up well, Would she have been proud?
