Mommy Please Don'T Leave Us

She cried, mommy please don’t leave us All alone without you near You know that Susie cry’s at night As she remembers all those fears Just because daddy’s gone Doesn’t mean you must go, too It just isn’t right mommy Plus, what am I supposed to do I’m not that good at cooking Plus there’s school and other things And who’s to say what’s down the road And what tomorrow might bring Mommy, you can’t leave us The county will split us all No matter how brave Johnny says he is And no matter if he wants to stand tall I’m still the oldest And I just turned thirteen To leave us all alone Mommy Would show that you’re just mean Mommy, I’m begging you please Maybe the doctor’s words were untrue You know we just can’t make it alone Because I really don’t know what to do I know that daddy died today But Mommy you can pull through That wreck you both were in Seems so unreal and untrue Mommy, please open your eyes And tell me everything will be fine And don’t go dying on us Mommy Cause the county will draw the line Doctor, please don’t say she’s dead And we young’uns belong to the state And three outstanding citizens Will now seal our family’s fate I know you think its best this way Because it doesn’t concern you But if you were in my place Doctor, just what would you do? Mommy and daddy have been gone three years Susie and Johnny are in different homes I live on the east side of town And we only speak on the phone It seems they’re slipping away from me Their new parents want solace and peace They say I must let it go And the phone calls must now cease I have a family all my own A daughter and son have I And every now and again They ask why their Mommy cries There’s no way I could put it in words And tell them of years ago Simply because they wouldn’t understand Because togetherness is all they know Someday, somehow, maybe I’ll relate to them what went on But only when they are older And they have children at home
