Light In The Dark

Mm-mm, yeah

Mm

I ain't cried like this since they laid you down

Been holding it in, but it's breaking now

There's a chair by the window where you used to sit

Room stays quiet, it don't feel like it did

Mama, I still hear you call my name

In the back of my mind, through the pouring rain

Every little thing still feels like you

In the way I talk, in the things I do, ooh-oh

I ain't been the same since you've been gone

Just learning how to carry on

But some nights, I swear, you ain't that far

Just a little light in the dark

Mm-mm, yeah

I still fold my hands like you showed me how

Still talk to God, though I don't know how

I catch myself turning to tell you things

Then I stop halfway and feel that pain

There's a song you loved, I still play it low

Let it fill the room like you never left home

Close my eyes, I can see you smile

And for just a second, it's all worthwhile

Mama, I still hear you call my name

In the back of my mind, through the pouring rain, yeah

Every little thing still feels like you, yeah

In the way I talk, in the things I do, ooh-oh

I ain't been the same since you've been gone

Just learning how to carry on

But some nights, I swear, you ain't that far

Just a little light in the dark

If love don't leave, then where'd you go?

Is it just somewhere I can't quite know?

Or do you walk with me, step for step

And every promise I ain't kept yet?

Mama, I still hear you call my name

Like a soft old hand, I can't explain

And I hold on tight to what you gave

Every word, every touch, every way

I'll live it out 'til my days are through

Try to be half the heart of you

And when my time comes, wherever you are

I'll find that light in the dark
