Lifetime
Mary Gauthier
I called my mama yesterday
To wish her happy birthday
She said,? Baby, your mama's getting old
And I'm damn glad to be alive today?
She said,? I'm 10 years cancer free
And I thank the good Lord everyday
But Marie, she's got it bad
And honey, Patsy's passed away?
She said a lifetime ain't no time at all
She said a lifetime ain't no time at all
I listened to my mama's voice
And I felt a chill pass right through
'Cos I've seen the virus take the boys
And I've watched my friends get sick too

We talked about how Michael died
With his friends around him everyday
How we all took turns by his side
How we helped him disappear that way
I know a lifetime ain't no time at all
I know a lifetime ain't no time at all
Mama said,? Ain't we a mess?
Child, we're full of life and scared of death
It must be hell to watch your friends die young
But getting old now, there's some fun?
You know, life'd mean nothing if we didn't die
Laughter, empty, if we didn't cry
It's all the way it's supposed to be
But it moves fast and it's hard to see

'Cos a lifetime ain't no time at all
Yes, a lifetime ain't no time at all
A lifetime ain't no time at all
A lifetime ain't no time at all
