For my Mom

I used to plant sweet kisses, on your cheek
And hold you close to me

I gave you warmth and comfort, I gave you life
I even set you free.

But now the time has come and I must go
There's a new world that waits for me.
And though you'll be there, I won't know
Will you remember me?

Let me say good by,
Before I forget you, before you're gone
Let me turn this lamp down on my own,
Before I forget you, before you're gone

There's no tellin' if I'll be back,
There's no words at all
And I can't believe
These summer leaves,
Turning into fall

Let me say good by,
Before I forget you, before you're gone
Let me turn this lamp down on my own,
Before I forget you, before you're gone

Before I forget you, before you're gone.
