Story of how a little boy lost his life leaving Momma just a memory.. the driver went free..
Lyrics
A Memory Of Momma's Little Boy
1) Many tears have come and gone
Since that dark and gloomy day
When a stranger came along
And took my little boy away
As he looked to cross the street
There was nothing close around
Till all at once a speeding car
Knocked my baby to the ground
2) As I held him in my arms
I could sense that he would die
Yet I couldn't find the word
To tell my little boy good-bye
I just told him that I loved him
For what more could I do
And just before he closed his eyes
He said "Mom, I love you too"
(Refrain)
And today I put away your wooden soldiers
Today I put away your favorite toys
I finally realized your life is over
I've but a memory of momma's little boy
3) I can't believe they set him free
No, I just don't understand
Or is murder only murder
When a gun is in your hand
My little boy he did no wrong
Yet he paid the sacrifice
Bars of steel can't bring him home
But they could save another life
(Refrain)
And today I put away your wooden soldiers
Today I put away your favorite toys
I finally realized your life is over
I've but a memory of momma's little boy
Just a memory of Momma's little boy
