There was once in my life something frightening happened
Someone close to me died, Left me all abandoned
I Dont know why, but its on my mind
I was six years old when my mother left me
All confused when they told me that I could never see her again
No, never again
And 42 years later I’m still sitting here
Little hard to breath when I’m thinking of her
Dont know why, but she’s on my mind
How my life would be like, would I be more like her
Would my life had turned out to be so much better
Dont know why, but its on my mind
Dont know nothing of her but what my father told me
And my memories failed me when I was growing older
And little by little, she was fading away
But when I look at my life in my back view mirror
I see it wasn’t all bad, some part would have been better
But I’ve grown up well, Would she have been proud?
I´m a father now, my son just turned fourteen
Eight years older then me when my mother left me
I dont know why, I still wanna cry
And 42 years later I’m still sitting here
Little hard to breath when I’m thinking of her
Dont know why, but she’s on my mind
How my life would be like, would I be more like her
Would my life had turned out to be so much better
Dont know why, but its on my mind
Dont know nothing of her but what my father told me
And my memories failed me when I was growing older
And little by little, she was fading away
And 42 years later I’m still sitting here
Little hard to breath when I’m thinking of her
Dont know why, but she’s on my mind
How my life would be like, would I be more like her
Would my life had turned out to be so much better
Dont know why, but its on my mind
But when I look at my life in my back view mirror
I see it wasn’t all bad, some part would have been better
Dont know why, but its on my mind
I’m 48 years now I’m still sitting here
Little hard to breath when I’m thinking of her
Dont know why, but she’s on my mind
