Lyrics

[Verse]
I Li-on-nell born in March
no laces tied and no crease to starch
And a song from years ago
almost died inside saved by a miracle
I see rain on the streets
Not only flowers on a grave
Tears run down Silver Spring
When I misbehave
And she'd say

[Chorus]
Time can get you if you let it
The love I have can't be measured
With dreams as big as the open sky
A Mother's son love can never die

[Chant]
ohh ohhh ohhh
Ohh ohh ohhhh
ohh ohh ohh
Tales of A Mother's Son

[Verse 2]
Uptown rumbles but southside living
Stand tall on business and take what's giving
She raised her boys to be men
She smile, but inside it's dark unforgiven
A Newport lit with parked dreams
The smoke clears
Determined to survive it seems
And she'd say

[Chorus]
Time can get you if you let it
The love I have can't be measured
With dreams as big as the open sky
A mother's son love can never die

[Chant]
ohh ohhh ohhh
Ohh ohh ohhhh
ohh ohh ohh
Tales of A Mother's Son
