Mommy, Mommy
By Richard Maxfield

Mommy, Mommy
What made you want to go
Was it something I did or said
This I need to know

Sometimes I lay awake at night
Dreaming of all we did
All the places we used to go
Just Mommy and her kid 

Tell me please
Why with us you don’t live
If you come home
All I have I’ll give

I herd you tell Daddy
That you were going away
With some man named Bob
You were going to stay

Daddy cried and cried
Each night and every day
I tried to make him smile
There was nothing I could say

Please tell me Mommy
Do you even care
Mommy, Mommy 
why are you now there

Daddy and I love you
We do miss you so
Why oh why
Did you have to go
