Cover My Eyes
Cover my eyes
Cover my ears
tell me this is a lie
it a lot on my shoulder
as I walk close by her side
her hair turn gray
but she still fun in lots of ways,
Cover my eyes
Cover my ears
tell me this is a lie
her walk a little off
but her skin still feel so soft
and she still got that
sparkle in her eyes,
Cover my eyes
Cover my ears
tell me this is a lie
as I lay down and sleep
I pray my mama
safe God will keep
as the years seem to go flying by,
Cover my eyes
Cover my ears
tell me this is a lie
that as I am growing older
I seem to be getting bolder
our mothers need us now
more than ever
so from her I don't want to hear
I am getting older my dear,
Cover my eyes
Cover my eyes
tell me this is a lie
written about my mom. 2013 by charlotte
