[02:45.00]Mama never seemed to miss the finer things in life
[02:45.00]if she did, she never did say so to daddy
[02:45.00]she never wanted to be more than
[02:45.00]a mother and a wife
[02:45.00]if she did, she never did say so to daddy
[02:45.00]the only thing that seemed
[02:45.00]to be inportant in her life
[02:45.00]was to make a house a home and to make us happy
[02:45.00]Mama never wanted anymore than what she had
[02:45.00]if she did, she never did say so to daddy
[02:45.00]He often left her alone,
[02:45.00]she didn't mind the stayin' home
[02:45.00]if she did, she never did say so to daddy
[02:45.00]and she never missed
[02:45.00]the flowers and the cards he never sent her
[02:45.00]if she did, she never did say so to daddy
[02:45.00]being took for granted was a that thing she accepted
[02:45.00]and she didn't need those things to make her happy
[02:45.00]and she didn't seem to notice
[02:45.00]that he didn't kiss and hold her
[02:45.00]if she did, she never did say so to daddy
[02:45.00]One morning we awoke just to find a note
[02:45.00]Mama carefully wrote and left to daddy
[02:45.00]and as he began to read it out ears could not beleive it
[02:45.00]the words she had written there to daddy
[02:45.00]she said, "the kids are old enough,
[02:45.00]they don't need me very much
[02:45.00]I've gone in search for love I need so badly
[02:45.00]I have needed you so long
[02:45.00]but I just can't keep holding on"
[02:45.00]she never meant to come back home
[02:45.00]if she did, she never did say so to daddy
[02:45.00]Good-bye to daddy
