Sharon Dilsworth

Sharon Dilsworth, you always had a patient heart

A loving, caring soul right from the very start

But I know the cross got heavy and the skies turned gray

When so much of your world was suddenly taken away

You lost a daughter, a husband, and a boyfriend too

I know the heavy grief came down and shattered you

But you turned your back on the ones who stayed

Hiding in the shadows that the heartache made

You got no time for the ones who really care

But mama, look around, we are standing right here

I just want it back to the way it used to be

Please open up your heart, come back to your family

The silence is heavy and the distance grows

Where my tender mother went, heaven only knows

You built up a wall so you wouldn't have to break

But pushing us away is a bitter mistake

We share the same memories, we share the same tears

Don't let the sorrow steal our remaining years

'Cause you turned your back on the ones who stayed

Hiding in the shadows that the heartache made

You got no time for the ones who really care

But mama, look around, we are standing right here

I just want it back to the way it used to be

Please open up your heart, come back to your family

I know you are hurting, I know how much you've bled

But don't walk away from the light up ahead

The real ones are waiting, we've been here all along

Holding onto hope until you finally come home

Why'd you turn your back on the ones who stayed?

Lost in the shadows that the heartache made

Please make some time for the ones who really care

Oh mama, look around, we are standing right here

I just want it back to the way it used to be

Sharon, won't you come on back to your family

Yeah, come on back to your family
