Marie – Music and Lyric by Steve Bell
Travelling over time
Keeping the best in mind
There’s a woman I’ve known
And I’ve called her my own for the longest time
The way she could sing a song
And bid me to sing along
With the voice of an angel
And a heart that enabled the best in me
There’s a long road to the place she’s living now
But it still seems as though she’s always been around
Loving me tenderly
How else can a mother be
I will always be her child
‘til there’s no longer a breath in me
It seems just like yesterday
While watching her children play
She put down her book
And she gave me a look I remember still
She said with her hand in mine
Will you be always mine
And will you still love me
Even when I am old and grey
There’s a long road to the place she’s living now
But it still seems as though she’s always been around
Loving me tenderly
How else can a mother be
I will always be her child
There’s no distance in the miles
I will always be her child
‘til there’s no longer a breath in me
I lost my mother in 2011 and these words echo very strongly in my heart and mind too. One day we will all be praising the Lord Jesus Christ together. God is truly blessing you as singer/songwriter. All your songs are truly gifts from God.
