Intro] (

Mama...
Elise
I
miss
you,
oh (
Light
shaker,
slow
tempo)
[Verse 1] The
house
is
silent
since
you
left
us
here
I
walk
the
rooms
and
shed
a
quiet
tear
I
remember
the
way
you
held
my
hand
When
I
was
lost,
you
were
the
place
I'd
land
Now
the
sun
rises
but
it
feels
so
gray
Now
the
sun
rises
but
it
feels
so
gray
Since
the
heavy
silence
took
you
away
[Chorus] Mama
Elise,
ooh!
mama
nanyinza
you
are
the
light
I
know
But
you
had
to
leave
and
watch
me
grow
My
heart
is
broken,
heavy
in
my
chest
I
wish
you
peace,
I
wish
you
silent
rest
I
love
you,
Mama,
even
in
the
pain
Like
the
earth
waiting
for
the
cooling
rain
[Verse 2] I
talk
to
the
photos
on
the
parlor
wall
I
talk
to
the
photos
on
the
parlor
wall
Waiting
for
a
voice
that
will
never
call
Your
recipes,
your
laughter,
all
your
grace
I’
m
searching
for
you
in
every
empty
space
But
the
memories
are
all
I
have
to
hold
Stories
of
you
that
never
will
get
old
[Chorus] Mama
Elise,
ooh!
Mama
nanyinza
you
are
the
light
I
know
But
you
had
to
leave
and
watch
me
grow
My
heart
is
broken,
heavy
in
my
chest
I
wish
you
peace,
I
wish
you
silent
rest
I
love
you,
Mama,
even
in
the
pain
Like
the
earth
waiting
for
the
cooling
rain
I
wish
you
peace,
I
wish
you
silent
rest
I
love
you,
Mama,
even
in
the
pain
Like
the
earth
waiting
for
the
cooling
rain (
