Son can I tell you a story -
To give you sweet dreams for the night?
The monsters are gone from your closet
Only your dad's by your side.
Mama looks down from the sky,
And whispers a sweet angel song.
But you’ll never meet her,
Except in your dreams,
Cause she’s gone
She’s gone
She’s gone

I knew from the doctor’s expression
That things with your mom were not right.
But still we were both optimistic
That you would both make it alive.
But then it was one or the other.
Your mama asked if she could choose
Then she took my hand,
Said “I’ll see you again.”
Now she’s gone
She’s gone
She’s gone

So now when you’re feeling so lonely
On thundering nights just like these,
Reach out your hands and you’ll feel her
Just like the wind through the trees.
And then you will know just as I.
She’s watching from very close by
And life goes so fast,
That it will be long
That she’s gone
She’s gone
She’s gone

Death’s not the end,
We will see her again
When we’re gone
Gone
Gone
