Ian Meltzer - Mr. Davis lyrics

When I came to see you You were confused and weak Drifting in and out of sleep And you struggled to speak As we clung to the illusion of time And my thoughts fell back to the days in the past To where everything lasts like your contagious laugh When I didn't know that all things must pa** Now I'm looking in my momma's eyes I don't know how we will ever get by And it's burned in my mind The kindest of eyes The selflessness I saw in you every time From the cars and your patience With everything breaking To the six kids you raised, you'd just Move with the changes And never complain or quit trying Now I'm looking in my momma's eyes I don't know how we will ever get by Now we're drifting in place In our groundless state there's no Hope to contain all of this Limitless pain Well you showed us all how to smile Now I'm looking in my momma's eyes I don't know how we will ever get by Yeah, but you taught me with your whole life I'm trying so hard, yeah I'm trying so hard to remember how to get by
