Momma Please Don't Cry Lyrics - Mind Adventures - Des'ree

When your momma starts to scold you 

She says it's 'cause I love you, momma please don't cry 

But it don't make matters better when you resemble your father 

And you learn that the alimonies run dry 

Momma please don't cry 

You know you never asked me why 

I'll wipe the tears from your eyes 

And hold you like you used to hold me 

So she smiles but is she happy? She smiles but she ain't happy 

Sadness still glistens in her eyes 

When she thinks of that man who she gave most of her life to 

In her heart she feels like she would die 

Momma please don't cry 

You know you never asked me why 

I'll wipe the tears from your eyes 

And hold you like you used to hold me 

So you try to console her, she sees her baby's growing older 

One day you'll rise up and take your leave 

Then she'll stand by the window, looking pale as a shadow 

Words of love faintly echo in her ears 

No no no, momma please don't cry 

You know you never asked me why 

I'll wipe the tears from your eyes 

And hold you like you used to hold me 

I said, And momma please don't cry 

You know you never asked me why 

I'll wipe the tears from your eyes 

And hold you like you used to hold me
