Momma Please Don`t Cry Lyrics

When your mother starts to scold you

 She says it's cos i love you

 Momma please don't cry

 But it don't make matters better

 When you resemble you father and you learn

 That the alimonies run dry

 

 Momma please don't cry

 You know you'd never ask me why

 I'll wipe the tears that flow from your eyes

 And hold you like you're used to hold me

 

 So she smiles but is she happy

 She smiles but she ain't happy

 Sadness still glistens in her eyes

 When she thinks of that man who

 She gave most of her life to

 In her heart she feels like she would die

 

 So you try to console her, she sees her baby's growing older

 One day you'll rise up and take your leave

 Then she'll stand by the window, looking pale as a shadow

 Words of love faintly echo in her ear
