Capo 1
Intro:
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 OK
Sometimes life is just that way
Your 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 used 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"
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"
