Lifetime-Mary Gauthier

I called my mama yesterday to wish her happy birthday she said, Babe, your mama's getting old. and I'm glad to be alive today. You know, I'm 10 years cancer free And I thank the good Lord everyday But Marie's got it bad, And honey, Patsy's passed away She Said A lifetime ain't no time at all A lifetime ain't no time at all As I listened to my mama's voice I felt a chill pass right thru I've seen the virus take the boys I got friends that been sick too I told her bout how Michael died with his friends around him everyday how we all took turns there by his side and we helped him disappear that way. a lifetime ain't no time at all. a lifetime ain't no time at all. Mama said well 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 honey getting old now there's some fun 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 It moves fast it's hard to see cause a lifetime ain't no time at all cause a lifetime ain't no time at all. a lifetime ain't no time at all.
