Like You Were Years Ago Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

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
