Lyrics
One Solitary Tear My mom said she was leaving her Savior had called her home If I believed as she did I’d never be alone Mom lived by the good book for as long as I can recall She said not to mourn her life she had enjoyed it all I promised her I wouldn’t shed one solitary tear I try to keep my promises. I didn’t break one here My tears fell like torrents from a Mississippi sky Not one solitary tear came fallin’ from my eyes--- Chorus She lived life just like she preached for everyone to see And served as an example of all I’d want to be The final words she spoke to me I took as Holy Grail Keep His spirit deep within you and you won’t ever fail I promised her I wouldn’t shed one solitary tear I try to keep my promises. I didn’t break one here My tears fell like torrents from a Mississippi sky Not one solitary tear came fallin’ from my eyes--- Chorus I’d never quite lived up to the example she gave She never quit believing that my soul could be saved On bended knee when they laid her to rest I begged Him for forgiveness and swore to do my best My tears fell like torrents from a Mississippi sky Not one solitary tear came fallin’ from my eyes--- Chorus They weren’t tears of sadness but thanking her again For leading me to Jesus who took away my pain My tears fell like torrents from a Mississippi sky Not one solitary tear came fallin’ from my eyes--- Tag Copyright 2007 John W.
