Tell Me You're Joking

He couldn't believe what his mama said,

They put him in the car and he got scared,

She looked at him in such a painful way,

Oh please mama, don't torture me this way

She held in close and tears fell down,

He thought of the words she'd said,

your father is gone

Oh no, this cannot be,

My father would never leave you, me,

So tell me you are joking, mama

She said he didn't suffer because he was drunk,

But how could she know,

Oh no, this cannot be,

My father would never leave you, me,

So tell me you are joking, mama

He thought he would accept it,

As time passed by,

But still there are moments when he has to cry,

He feels his father should have been there,

through the years,

But he'll always send him love,

Though thoughts, and through tears....

Oh no, this cannot be,

My father would never leave you, me,

So tell me you are joking, mama

tell me you are joking, mama

tell me you are joking, mama
