Letter To My Mother

Edwin McCain

Mama, how do I write the words to you

You were the only one who loved me true



But there's a woman that we don't even know

She gave me life, then you gave me a home



I love you, Mama

But I want to tell her too

Is that her little boy still loves you



I close my eyes, does she look like me

Does she need my help, is she cold on the street



Am I forgotten like a bad childhood dream

A B-movie actor on the black and white screen



I love you, Mama

But I want to tell her too

Is that her little boy still loves you

Is that her little boy still loves you



Could I have seen her, I'll never know

Maybe she's always been there watching me grow

I wanted to tell her how grateful I am

For giving me life, I've done the best that I can



I love you, Mama

But I want to tell her too



Is that her little boy still loves you

Her little boy still loves you
