Momma never seemed to miss the finer things in life
If she did, she never did say so to daddy
She never wanted to be more than mother and a wife
If she did, she never did say so to daddy
The only things that seemed to be important in her life
Was to make our house a home and make us happy
Momma never wanted anymore than what she had
If she did, she never did say so to daddy
He often left her all alone
She didn’t mind the staying home
If she did, she never did say so to daddy
And she never missed the flowers
And the gifts he never gave her
If she did, she never did say so to daddy
Being took for granted was a thing that she accepted
And she didn’t need those things to make her happy
She didn’t even seem to notice
That he didn’t kiss and hold her
If she did, she never did say so to daddy
One morning we awoke
Just to find the note
That momma carefully wrote
And left to daddy
And as he began to read it Our ears could not believe it The words that she had written there to daddy
She said our kids are old enough
And they don’t need me very much
So I’ve gone in search for love I need so badly
I have needed you so long
But I just can’t keep holding on She never meant to come back home
If she did, she never did say so to daddy
Momma’s gone
Good-bye to daddy
Perhaps the finest voice ever in any genre of music! Emmylou is pure effortless silk! How could anyone ever give a thumbs down to this amazing song and singer??
I always think of all the things that have changed just since 2006 when we first met !!! I love you baby !! Ill send you a picture that Angel took in Old Town 3 days before Desiree was born !!!
My Wife and I had and raise two Children. When they were grown up they went their own ways. Many Women at this point will go off to find what they think they have missed. My wife stayed with me another 30 years. Not because I told her I loved her. Not because I gave her many gifts. I think she stayed because from time to time, in the night, I would pull her close and gently kiss her shoulder. I think she knew I loved her. She died last year. I think she knew I loved her.
