All We Have Now Are Memories
George Cook 1934 (Lanarkshire)
All we have now are memories
Of someone we hold very dear
Mum, oh how we miss you so
And wish that you were still here
How we long to hear your voice
For real - not in our dreams
We're missing you so very much
How empty our world seems
The emptiness we're feeling now
Hurts us really deep inside
The days go by without you
But we think of you with pride
You were a loving, caring Mum
You were there for us a lot
You hold a place within our hearts
A loving, treasured spot
We can't erase the day you left
When God took you in His care
But we can still have memories
Of the times we used to share
Mum, we love you
