I called my mama yesterday
to wish her happy birthday
she said, Babe, your mama`s getting old.
and I`m glad to be alive today.
You know, I`m 10 years cancer free
And I thank the good Lord everyday
But Marie`s got it bad,
And honey, Patsy`s passed away
She Said
A lifetime ain`t no time at all
A lifetime ain`t no time at all
As I listened to my mama`s voice
I felt a chill pass right thru
I`ve seen the virus take the boys
I got friends that been sick too
I told her bout how Michael died
with his friends around him everyday
how we all took turns there by his side
and we helped him disappear that way.
a lifetime ain`t no time at all.
a lifetime ain`t no time at all.
Mama said well ain`t we a mess,
Child we`re full of life
and scared of death.
It must be hell to watch your friends die young,
but honey getting old now there`s some fun
Life`d mean nothing if we didn`t die
Laughter empty if we didn`t cry
It`s all the way it`s supposed to be
It moves fast it`s hard to see
cause a lifetime ain`t no time at all
cause a lifetime ain`t no time at all.
a lifetime ain`t no time at all.
