You'd never know she was my best friend
being so many years apart.
I'm sure I was a pain sometimes,
but she loved me with all her heart.
For every bad day at school I had,
she got me through them all.
We had some good times, me and Ma.
She used to laugh at all my jokes,
even though they weren't all funny.
She'd never let us kids know she was short on money,
cause she always had enough to pick up some ice cream for us all.
Yeah, we had some good times, me and Ma.
It sure was hard to watch when the memories began to leave.
Sometimes I'd still pretend
she remembered me.
She forgot the good times,
but I'm holding on to them all.
I'll always
remember me and Ma. She used to laugh at all my jokes,
even though they weren't all funny.
She'd never let us kids know she was short on money,
cause she always had enough to pick
up some ice cream for us all.
Yeah, we had some good times, me and Ma.
I like to think the day she finally
found peace,
she got to heaven and smiled when she remembered me.
And if I know her well,
she's probably talking God's ear off,
telling him about the good times of me and Ma.
