"Paula" lyrics

Holy water in my eyes
Everything you mean to me gets harder to describe
Hold me, Mama, don't you cry
You have been my everything, now let me be your light

And tell me, tell me one more time
All the angels waiting there for you when you arrive
Show me how to be alright
If all the worthy parts of me leave with you tonight

And if you're gone before I wake
Don't you know I loved you more
So much more than words can say
So much more, so much more
I watched you fix what others break
I watched you give, I watched them take
And I used to wonder, is it madness or is it faith?
Mama, you're so much more, more than words can say

Hold me, Mama, don't you cry
Through the darkness, I am with you
Through the darkness is a light

Won't you tell me, tell me when you find
All the angels waiting there, I think they'll be on time
Show me how to be alright
If all the worthy parts of me leave with you tonight

And if you're gone before I wake
Don't you know I loved you more
So much more than words can say
So much more, so much more
I watched you fix what others break
I watched you give, I watched them take
And I used to wonder, is it madness that keeps you sane?
Mama, you're so much more, more than words can say

And each step along the way
Don't you know I love you more
Love you more than words can say
Say I'll be fine, but without you, I'm not sure
But if I give more than I take and I fix more than I break
I'll know I'm yours
