• It all starts off with a simple tune,
    I'm just singing about me and you
    And on that fateful day
    I couldn't wait to get away
    I can't believe how much we've grown
    That has been so long ago.
    I have to say
    Back in the beginning of May
    When we pushed all our fears away
    Did you forget what Mama said?
    She took us aside with a real stressed out tone
    And she spoke to us,

    Now don't forget me when I'm gone
    I'll be so far from home
    I'm gonna miss you both,
    But it's the best way that I know
    Of leaving you on your own.
    Please don't cry for me
    I promise
    I promise
    I promise to wait for you
    But my time is coming soon

    I remember grabbing a hold of her
    Tears filled in my eyes
    How could she speak those terrible lies
    A couple days later, Mama's fell sick
    We were worried to death that something might happen

    We took good care of our Mama
    We gave her everything
    She still wound up crying
    Because she's losing her hair
    And Daddy's not there

    Two weeks later
    We're at a funeral home
    Mama's passed away
    Leaving us on our own

    Now don't forget me when I'm gone
    I'll be so far from home
    I'm gonna miss you both,
    But it's the best way that I know
    Of leaving you on your own.
    Please don't cry for me
    I promise
    I promise
    I promise to wait for you
    But my time is coming soon
