Ray Charles - Mother

And I surely still do miss my mother doesn’t matter how old that I grow Mother’s love will stay with me all through life no matter where I go Ever since the Lord called and she left, Parts of her flow through me every day God has taken her, but no one could ever take mother’s love away Mama could be strong but you knew that she loved you She taught me how to walk and talk and pray yeah Since she’s gone on a heaven All those memories of those days And I think of the things that I didn’t get a chance to say And I surely still do miss my mother doesn’t matter how old that I grow Mother’s love will stay with me all through life no matter where I go Ever since the Lord called and she left, Parts of her flow through me every day God has taken her, but no one could ever take mother’s love away Always the first thing in the morning Making sure that I got up for school “Get yourself ready to go”, – she said, “go to class and learn some more, And remember that there’s no one in the world better than you!” That’s why I miss my mother And I surely still do miss my mother doesn’t matter how old that I grow Mother’s love will stay with me all through life no matter where I go Ever since the Lord called and she left, Parts of her flow through me every day God has taken her, but no one could ever take mother’s love away There’s ain’t no blues to have been written ohh no That could make me feel this way I lost the one that was there for me all my life The day that left my mama away And I surely still do miss my mother doesn’t matter how old that I grow Mother’s love will stay with me all through life no matter where I go Ever since the Lord called and she left, Parts of her flow through me every day God has taken her, but no one could ever take mother’s love away And I surely still do miss my mother doesn’t matter how old that I grow Mother’s love will stay with me all through life no matter where I go Ever since the Lord called and she left, Parts of her flow through me every day God has taken her, but no one could ever take mother’s love away And I surely still do miss my mother doesn’t matter how old that I grow Mother’s love will stay with me all through life no matter where I go Ever since the Lord called and she left, Parts of her flow through me every day God has taken her, but no one could ever take mother’s love away
