Porter Wagoner Lyrics
"Like You Were Years Ago"

Mom the tears are showing in your face and your steps
are slowing with the time
Since daddy's gone away to live in heaven
I know you're lonesome for him I see heaven on your mind
Now the years have took away the roses that were in
your cheeks not long ago
And time has wrapped your lovely hair in silver
But I still see you mom like you were years ago

Each day you look more lovely like an angel and soon
you'll go to be with them I know
God loaned us part of heaven for a mama
As I look back and see you like you were years ago
Now the years have took...
I'll always see you mom like you were years ago
