Don't Cry Mother
(I'm Dying)
Mother,
I've seen better days,
We can both agree,
I've weathered well so far.
Mother,
It's hard for me to say,
When I look into your eyes,
I'm not that little boy anymore.
Don't cry mother,
It's hard to see you sad.
Don't cry mother,
I'm dying.
Mother,
you taught me right from wrong,
you tried to protect me,
from all the things that harm.
Mother,
Some things we cannot change,
These things I cannot explain,
My time has been chosen for me
Don't cry mother,
It's hard to see you sad.
Don't cry mother,
I'm dying.
Mother,
I hate to see you cry,
I'm sorry for what I've done,
Please don't shed a tear.
Mother,
I'm regretful to say goodbye,
So much I'd like to do,
I'll be better soon.
Don't cry mother,
It's hard to see you sad.
Don't cry mother,
I'm dying.
