18 years of memories
stuffed in boxes on the backseat
she's sleeping on her brothers shoulder

mom is fighting teardrops
like the windshield fights the rain
wondrin when her little girl got older

scenes from yesterday keep running through her head
she begged her not to leave
but all her baby said was
mama please don't cry
this is a moment to give my wings a try
mama you've shown me how to shine
mama please don't cry
18 miles ahead of them
departing signs await
mama whispers sweetheart we're almost there

she's looking in the mirror
as her little girl awakes
asking god to keep her safe through prayer

driving down the road
just as slow as she can go
tears are rolling down her face
as her daughter's leaning over
she says
mama please don't cry
this is a moment to give my wings a try
mama you've shown me how to shine
mama please don't cry

they're holding on to each other
mother daughter brother
cheeks are wet
their hands are holding tight
they talk about her childhood days
sitting on the porch, drinking lemonade
till the little girl whispers
love ya and goodbye
