She stares at the pictures
From a time that once was glad
Only left now are the memories
Some good and some real bad
She makes it through another day
As the years just slowly pass
Her broken heart won't ever heal
From a loss you can't get it back
She prays to God every morning
Please just tell me why
You took her way too early
Why'd you have to take her life
Mothers don't out live their kids
That's a fact of life
Please tell me why you took her
Why can't you just take mine
She looks out of the window
Hears the thunder from the clouds
There's a sad storm hanging over her
As the rain keeps coming down
In her heart she's always weeping
To go on she has to try
The rain that falls from heaven
Are the tears that angels cry
She prays to God every morning
Please just tell me why
You took her way too early
Why'd you have to take her life
Mothers don't out live their kids
That's a fact of life
Please tell me why you took her
Why can't you just take mine
And the rain that falls from heaven
Are the tears that angels cry
Yes the rain that falls from heaven
Are the tears that angels cry yeah
She prays to God every morning
Please just tell me why
You took her way too early
Why'd you have to take her life
Mothers don't out live their kids
That's a fact of life
Please tell me why you took her
Why can't you just take mine
Please tell me why you took her
Why can't you just take mine
