It was a winters day When I heard the phone ring It was my brothers voice He said come on home He said mom is dying He started crying I felt the pain, I felt that pain I knew inside I had to get there I didn't know how, I just had to get there Why she had to leave this place behind Knowing that we'd all be hurt Life is so hard to bear Tell me what your reasons are for my despair Blue moon over Brooklyn Never saw such a light shining down on me I was all alone the night I flew home I was going insane, I felt to blame My heart was beating, do you know that feeling? I didn't want to be late, Lord, hope she'll wait Why she had to leave this place behind Knowing that we'd all be hurt Life is so hard to bear Tell me what your reasons are for my despair Blue moon over Brooklyn Never saw such a light shining down on me My mama told me, son you better shop around Postman comes once, lucky if he comes again You've gotta be nice, take my advice It's time to go, Mama, I miss you so
