lyrics

It happened long ago on a cold January day back in a time when you had your own way. I never knew black ice could be so cruel.

Binghamton to Syracuse you clutched to the steering wheel so tight. I'll never know the fright you felt that night... or any hell you've been through since then.

Mary-Mae your life is here to stay.
It may have gone astray.
No time for you to have your say...

But I'll be right here.
Always right here.
I'll be right here.

Now you live in Rockaway, NY and the kids across the street have never known a white lady so sweet. You taught them how some soap brings worms from the deep.

In your nursing days you watched Lady Jean pass away and heard her ask the angels where she'd stay. She's been with you since that very day.

Mary-Mae your life is here to stay.
It may have gone astray.
No time for you to have your say...

But I'll be right here.
Always right here.
I'll be right here.

I'll be right here.
Always right here.
Oh my, my dear!
I'll be right here.
