Mama Said (uit Liefde Voor Muziek) lyrics

[Verse 1] Mama said, there‘ll be tears
There‘ll be sunshine through the years
Life goes up, it goes down, like a merry-go-round
There‘ll be days you won‘t see
There‘ll be times you‘ll feel free
Life is ebb and it‘s flow
You know I told you so

[Pre-Chorus]
And oh, no one knows
How the river flows

[Chorus]
And all I wanna say is, I love you anyway

[Verse 2]
Mama said when you cry
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Life is cruel, don‘t be fooled
Sometimes you bend the rules
There‘ll be joy, you‘ll feel pain
Stay strong, don‘t refrain
Have no fear, love is here, it will never disappear

[Pre-Chorus]
And oh, no one knows
How the river flows
[Chorus]
And all I wanna say is, I love you anyway

[Verse 3]
Mama said you‘ll find love
There‘ll be hard rains from above
Don‘t let go, don‘t give in, don‘t let the bad ones in
Mama knows, she has seen
The dark side of the dream
Just don‘t give your heart away
To the one who will not stay
