Momma please don't go won't you stay here for one more day

 I've been you boy for so long now

 There's so much I, I still have to say

 Sky rips open and I held my heart in my hand

 Like a soldier on his very last day

 Cried myself to sleep at night

 And I listened as I heard the angels sing sha la la

Chorus

Sha la la la, sha la la la, I'm goin home

Sha la la la, la la la la, I'm goin home

 Oh, something inside of me makes me scream

 Oh, how could God take you from a little boy

 He'll be all right he is by my side

 He's not a little boy, he's my pride and joy sha la la la

Chorus

Solo

Summer on the radio and the phone rings and it was Jeannette

 Sayin’, boy we had to let her go I begged no, no not yet

You left six of us to fend for ourselves

Guess it's just part of someone's master plan

 We'll see you laughing you’re my best friend

 You were a lion and the lamb

 And I cried as the angels sang sha la la la

Chorus
