Shannon Walker - Before I Let You Go lyrics

(Harley Allen; John Wiggins ) Cold winter day ten degrees I'm on my way To school with my hand on that door knob Almost got away thought I was cool but here comes mom With a hat and scarf and I just thought oh,God Son I wanted you to know In the world it's cold that I love you so Before I let you go I threw away that hat and scarf down the street in someone's yard Never gonna wear those things again I couldn't let my buddies see the way mamma dressed up me Cause I'm as tough as all of them On my way home that day blowing snow is in my face The bitter wind chilled me to the bone I missed that hat and that ole scarf and really missed my mother's arms And I thought what she said when I left home Son I wanted you to know In the world it's cold that I love you so Before I let you go Finally made it to my steps told the dog I'm froze to d**h I kinda fell inside the kitchen door Mamma waiting there for me I hugged her till she couldn't breathe Then I thought I'm gonna hug her more Mom I wanted you to know It was awful cold out there in that snow Before I let you go Mom I see in your eyes you remember that cold night Like I do just like it was yesterday It's alright if we both cry it's so hard to say goodbye But now I wanna hug you that same way Mom I wanted you to know While I hope you close that I love you so Before I let you go
