You Can't Lose Me

(Trey Bruce, Thom McHugh)

A little girl, a little small for her age
A little too slow for the field day race
Momma's waiting at the finish line
And wipes the teardrops from her eyes
She says, ";You did just fine honey, that's okay
";Sometimes life's just that way
";You??re gonna lose the race from time to time
";But you're always gonna find

";You can't lose me
";Bet your life
";I am here and I will always be
";Just a wish away
";Wherever you go
";No matter how far
";My love is where you are
";You won't be lost if you believe
";You can't lose me";

Momma use to say ";Girl it won't be long
'";Til it's time to go out on your own
";Chase your dreams find your place in life
";I know you'll do just fine";
When that day finally came
There were things she needed to but could not say
So I whispered softly as I wiped
The tears from Momma's eyes

";You can't lose me
";Bet your life
";I am here and I will always be
";Just a wish away
";Wherever I go
";No matter how far
";My love is where you are
";You won't be lost if you believe
";You can't lose me";
