How long has it been
since last you held me tight
and chased away the monsters
from my sight?

How long has it been
since you held my hand
and guided me away from the danger
only you knew?

How long has it been
since the last lullaby,
that you sang to me
as I sat on your knee?

What about those gentle caresses
upon my fevered brow
and your soothing words.
I still hear them now...

How long has it been
since we held each other tight?
Mom, I hold you so dearly in my heart
each and every night.
