If Only...

If only I could talk to my mom one more time,
I'd tell her all about this hurting heart of mine.
She'd tell me to stay strong and not give in to fears;
She'd tell me that she loved me, then she would dry my tears.

If only I could hear her voice  just whisper in my ear,
She'd tell me the choice I made was good and her love for me was dear.
I'd tell her how my heart was broken because my loved one's hurt;
She say, "But Lynn I'm proud of you for getting up out of the dirt."

If only I could feel her arms surround me in a hug,
And feel her kiss upon my cheek, her arm around me snug.
I'd tell her how I missed her and wish she was still here.
So we could talk things over and pray about this year.

If only I could have the chance, I'd tell her, "I love you!"
She'd tell me that she never once doubted that was true.
I want to tell my family and friends, to never miss a chance,
To tell your mom you love her. She could be gone with just one glance.
