Garth Brooks – Mom Lyrics

Little baby told God, hey I’m kind of scared.
Don’t really know if I want to go down there.¹
From here it² looks like a little blue ball
That’s a great big place and I’m so small.³

Why can’t I just, stay here with you?
Did I make you mad, don’t you want me too?⁴
God said oh child, of course I do⁵
But there’s somebody special waiting for you⁶

So hush now baby, don’t you cry
‘Cause there’s someone down there waiting whose only goal in life
Is making sure you’re always gonna be alright⁷
A loving angel tender, tough and strong⁸
It’s almost time to go and meet your mom.⁹

You’ll never have a better friend
Or a warmer touch to tuck you in¹⁰
She’ll kiss your bruises, your bumps and scrapes
And anytime you hurt
Her heart’s gonna break¹¹

So hush now baby, don’t you cry
‘Cause there’s someone down there waiting whose only goal in life
Is making sure you’re always gonna be alright
A loving angel tender, tough and strong
It’s almost time to go and meet your mom.

And when she’s talking to you make sure you listen close
‘Cause she’s gonna teach you everything you’ll ever need to know¹²
Like how to mind your manners, to love and laugh and dream
She’ll put you on the path that bring you back to me¹³

So, hush now little baby, don’t you cry
‘Cause there’s someone down there waiting whose only goal in life
Is making sure you’re always gonna be alright
A loving angel tender, tough and strong
Come on child it’s time, to meet your mom¹⁴
