mandey's world

so last night i was getting off of work and the guy up front that checks our bags as we leave made a small joke. it's a running joke between us. he always tells me that i need to clean out my purse. well my bag got cleaned out this week and he was like 'good job mandey!' i replied "well all i need to do now is clean up my room' and he started laughing and was like 'so tomorrow's assignment?' as i walked out i said, of course! for tomorrow and i found myself saying "tomorrow, tomorrow...tomorrow never comes" a quote of my momma's. it brought a smile to my face and a tear to my eyes. this weekend the whole family is together in lubbock while i work and do hw here in arlington. i can't help but feel a little jealous. Anyways, i know this is an old song but i first heard it on my last trip home to lubbock. i gave it to my mother who finally heard it last sunday and called me crying. enjoy.

A little girl, a little small for her age
A little too slow for the field day race
Momma's waiting at the finish line
And wipes the teardrops from her eyes
She says, "You did just fine honey, that's okay
"Sometimes life's just that way
"You're gonna lose the race from time to time
"But you're always gonna find

"You can't lose me
"Bet your life
"I am here and I will always be
"Just a wish away
"Wherever you go
"No matter how far
"My love is where you are
"You won't be lost if you believe
"You can't lose me"

Momma use to say "Girl it won't be long
'"Til it's time to go out on your own
"Chase your dreams find your place in life
"I know you'll do just fine"
When that day finally came
There were things she needed to but could not say
So I whispered softly as I wiped
The tears from Momma's eyes

"You can't lose me
"Bet your life
"I am here and I will always be
"Just a wish away
"Wherever I go
"No matter how far
"My love is where you are
"You won't be lost if you believe
"You can't lose me"
