Welcomed neighbors to our street
Cleared out driveways in the sleet
So much I never knew
Everyone grateful for you

Around the holidays I miss
You trimmed the tree, sweet Ellis
But now though you’re gone
Your spirit lingers on

You brought joy to all around
Made love and happiness abound
You lived a life profound
Goodness comes back around

P . . . J
You’ll always be a Mama’s boy,
P . . . J
You’ll always be a Mama’s boy,
Always feel you, always hear you
P . . . J

You helped so many people
I can hear it from the steeple
Made them feel good inside
I’ll always have you by my side

You brought joy to all around
Made love and happiness abound
You lived a life profound
Goodness comes back around

P . . . J
You’ll always be a Mama’s boy,
P . . . J
You’ll always be a Mama’s boy,
Always feel you, always hear you
P . . . J

On a mother’s day card he asked,
“What would life be like without you?”
But now it’s me who has been tasked
Wish that question had gone unasked

You brought joy to all around
Made love and happiness abound
You lived a life profound
Goodness comes back around
You brought joy to all around
Made love and happiness abound
You lived a life profound
Goodness comes back

P . . . J
You’ll always be a Mama’s boy,
P . . . J
You’ll always be a Mama’s boy,
P . . . J
You’ll always be a Mama’s boy,
Always feel you…
Always hear you…
Always need you…
Always love you…
P . . . J
