Album: The New Ark

Intro
Hey, baby
Hey, mommy
I know, mom, I know
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
She isn't sufferin' anymore, ma
It's okay, it's okay
What's up, nephew?
Yeah, what's up, unc?
I'll take you back upstairs
Thank you, thank you, yeah
Come on, ma, let's go upstairs
Let's go upstairs

Verse 1
Somehow we forget about the bounty of death
We think our family will always be around, we neglect
Keepin' in touch, but then we're all down in regret
When they pass on, the death is a reality check
On any given day, we could vanish from the face
Of this planet, so I'm takin' advantage
Of this moment, I'll no longer take them for granted
With all of my love, I'll be embracing my fam with
I hold my mom in my arms, her and I mourn
'Cause the woman that has given her life's gone
And it's hurtful losing a parent that birthed you
I dread the day when she's gone and I am in her shoes
And that day's probably getting close
I look at mom and she's getting old
So while I still have her here with me, I just gotta let her know
I love her and I'll never let her go
I'll never let her go, no

Chorus
At any given moment, you or I can vanish
Never know, yeah
So while I have her here, I won't take time for granted
No, I won't, no
I'll cherish every second, I will take advantage
I'll hold you close and
I won't let you go
I won't let you go
I won't let you go
I won't let you go
Baby, no, I won't let you go

Verse 2
The sun rised, so I'm blessed to see another day
My favorite moments are when the sun's bleeding through the shades
And when the daylight's gleaming on the face
Of my lady, 'cause I see the Lord's genius on display
The best photography couldn't properly
Capture the details in this beauty my optics see
A filter on a hat would not compete
So as I lay there silently and I watch her sleep
I see His glory in all her gaze
She wakes up and I tell her, "Good morning, babe"
She smiles, then she leans into my warm embrace
With her head on my chest and wrapped in my arms, she lays
It's love, I wish that I could freeze time
And rewind these moments, 'cause they always seem to speed by
But while I have her here now, I'ma let her know
How much I love her and I will never let her go
No

Chorus 2
At any given moment, you or I can vanish
Never know, yeah
So while I have you here, I won't take time for granted
No, I won't, no
I'll cherish every second, I will take advantage
I'll hold you close and
I won't let you go
(I never knew a luh, luh, a love like this)
I won't let you go
(I never knew a luh, luh, a love like this)
I won't let you go
(I never knew a luh, luh, a love like this)
I won't let you go
(I never knew a luh, luh, a love like this)
Baby, no, I won't let you go
