I look back and see my mother
A lady, who,I loved so much.
For me there could be no other
Than the lady with the gentle touch.
Her life was not so easy
There was a lot of grief to bear,
But she always rode above it
With her love, she was always there.
She never had much money
But she never did complain
She'll always be my honey
My love for her will never wain

When I think of all the things I've done
I am thankful for each and every one.
I think how lucky I did get,
That the Lord chose me to sing;
He had my life mapped out for me
With every single thing.
The poor times in Tupelo
Taught me how to give,
And then my life in Memphis
Taught me how to live.
But now I am at peace with lots of love to share,
I send it on to all my fans here and everywhere.
I am here with the angels in a world so full of love
With beauty all around me and a snow white turtle dove.
The lights are shining brightly, the music rings out true
I am sending all good wishes on their way to you.
That is all I have to give as my voice is no more,
But remember all my songs that I have sung before.

I carry a torch filled with pure perfect light,
By my heart is this torch, where it feels so right.
It shows me the way to find my love so true,
It shows me the way to find you.
My love for you, it goes on and on
Eternal love my darling, for I know you have gone.
I look at your picture and see you right here,
I know in my heart, that you are so near.
I have cried many days, endless nights too
My tears fall on your picture and I cry with you,
I will love you forever and see you up high
Until I can join you, when I must die.
My endless love for you is strong in my heart
It has grown through the years since you did depart.
I know that you are watching us all from there.
Wrapped up in the love of Gods tender care.

To lose a loved one is hard I know
But remember that back to the Lord we all go
Here with the angels close by my side
I watch all my fans, with love and pride.
I sit here with my guitar in my lap
Watching the world spread out like a map
Knowing the loyalty you all show to me
Is special in my heart, a wonderous memory.
My Mama and Papa and Jesse too
Are here with me all the days through
At last I can talk to my brother free
Where other people won't laugh at me.
My love for my family always stayed strong
So how could our chat ever be so wrong
Now here with the angels and their loving care
We sit here together, watching you there.
