Lorie

We didn't always have a simple story

But you gave me everything you had, oh Lorie

You might not have been the perfect mother

But I would never trade you for another

You weren't the best at every single thing

But you were my shelter when the rain would sting

I just wish I had five more minutes with you

To sit and talk about what I'm going through

I feel like I can't do this without you here

I miss you so much with every falling tear

You might not have been the best, heaven knows

But you were there when I needed you the most

I still remember when my first baby cried

You were standing right there, steady by my side

You held my hand when I became a mom

And kept me safe in the middle of the storm

There are three other grandkids you didn't get to see

Mom, I wish you were here to watch them grow with me

I just wish I had five more minutes with you

To sit and talk about what I'm going through

I feel like I can't do this without you here

I miss you so much with every falling tear

You might not have been the best, heaven knows

But you were there when I needed you the most

I love you so much, and I'm trying my best

But living without you is a heavy test

Some days the sorrow is too much to bear

I look at the doorway and wish you were there

Mom, I'm so lost in the dark on my own

I just wish I had five more minutes with you

To sit and talk about what I'm going through

I feel like I can't do this without you here

I miss you so much with every falling tear

Oh Lorie, my mother, heaven only knows

You were there when I needed you the most

Yeah, you were there when I needed you the most
