What can I say? This song is about my mama, who is no longer with me. She was an amazing woman and continues to be my biggest inspiration. I like that it's a happy and lively song. I think it does a good job of creating the essence of my mother. -Kelly

When I’m feeling lonely, when I’m feeling blue
There’s always someone who I can turn to
She’s my guardian angel, my saving grace
I close my eyes and I can see her face
And with her strength I can face each day
And in my heart, you know I can hear her say

Honey, it’s okay, but you gotta make the most of every day
Don’t let your fear stand in the way
You gotta live your life before it slips away

She gives me courage, she’s my guiding light
She helps to see me thru the dark and lonely night
I know she isn’t here, and you know she isn’t there
She’s omnipresent, well she’s everywhere
And all alone where I often lay
Deep in my soul you know I can hear her voice say

Honey, it’s okay, but you gotta make the most of every day
Don’t let your tears wash you away
You gotta live your life before it slips away

Mama you gave me everything I need
Your love has saved me and taught me to be free
Though my heart will mend, I miss you so much
But when I feel the wind, it soothes me with your touch

I used to think that a love was weighed
By the accomplishments that you had made
Counting successes, well it used to be fun
Now it all seems just like life on the run
But if to yourself you can be true
Then each day will give something back to you

And honey, it’s okay, but you gotta make the most of every day
Don’t let your fear stand in the way
You gotta live your life before it slips away
Yeah, honey it’s okay, but you gotta make the most of every day
Don’t let your tears wash you away
You gotta live your life before it slips away
You gotta live your life before it slips away
And my mama says, honey it’s okay
Yeah, yeah
