(trey bruce, thom mchugh)
A little girl, a little small for her age
A little too slow for the field day race
Mommas waiting at the finish line
And wipes the teardrops from her eyes
She says, "you did just fine honey, thats okay
"sometimes lifes just that way
"youre gonna lose the race from time to time
"but youre always gonna find
"you cant lose me
"bet your life
"i am here and I will always be
"just a wish away
"wherever you go
"no matter how far
"my love is where you are
"you wont be lost if you believe
"you cant lose me"
Momma use to say "girl it wont be long
"til its time to go out on your own
"chase your dreams find your place in life
"i know youll do just fine"
When that day finally came
There were things she needed to but could not say
So I whispered softly as I wiped
The tears from mommas eyes
"you cant lose me
"bet your life
"i am here and I will always be
"just a wish away
"wherever I go
"no matter how far
"my love is where you are
"you wont be lost if you believe
"you cant lose me"
