I cried a million tears one day
While standing in the rain
My mother left this world, last year
And I can't stand the pain
Reminiscing, all the time
Of days and years gone bye
God took away my love in life
And still I ask him why
My mother knew my ups and downs
And loved me just the same
She bore the weight of my failures
And sometimes took the blame
I want to scream, and jump and yell
Be angry, stomp, and cry
Though suffering, sick and dying
Those reasons don't say why
A thousand tears, I've cried today
And I'm not out in the rain
Still my mother left, last year
And I can't stand the pain
While standing in the rain
My mother left this world, last year
And I can't stand the pain
Reminiscing, all the time
Of days and years gone bye
God took away my love in life
And still I ask him why
My mother knew my ups and downs
And loved me just the same
She bore the weight of my failures
And sometimes took the blame
I want to scream, and jump and yell
Be angry, stomp, and cry
Though suffering, sick and dying
Those reasons don't say why
A thousand tears, I've cried today
And I'm not out in the rain
Still my mother left, last year
And I can't stand the pain
