Mama, please don't go
Won't you stay here for one more day
I've been your boy for so long now
There's so much I, I still have to say
The sky ripped open and I held my heart in my hand
Like a soldier on his very last day
Cried myself to sleep that night
And I listened as I heard the angels sing
Sha la la

chorus:

Sha la la la,
La la la la
I'm goin' home
(repeat)

Something inside of me makes me scream
How could God take you from a little boy
You'll be alright he's by my side
He's not a little boy, he's my pride and joy

(chorus)

Summer on the radio, when the phone rang
And it was Jeanette
Saying boy we had to let her go
I beg, "No, no not yet"

You left six of us to fend for ourselves
Guess it's just part of someone's master plan
*We'll say you left cause you're my best friend
*You were a liar then, and that's my plan
The angels sing...

(chorus)
