Just Call

Here it is Christmas Eve and I sit here all alone I lost my mom at an early age
Retired from the working world before a family of my own
senior living my new home And I would give you anything
Seeing visions of some special days to hear her called grandma
of the past I still know Neglected I could never be too busy to call my Mom
They dance around inside my mind And never would that well run dry
as I watched my children grow the well that I called home

I remember each one had a flare (chorus)
trying hard to get things done Just call to say I love you just call to say you’re there
So my kids have a memory each one a special one And let me know that memories
Time has a way of giving life to us to call our own are more than my gray hair
When the holidays roll around Just call to say I love you just call to say you care
don’t forget to call your Mom Wish your Mom a Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year
(chorus)
Just call to say I love you just call to say you’re there Here it is Christmas Eve and I sit here all alone
And let me know that memories
are more than my gray hair Words n music
Just call to say I love you just call to say you care Nellie Zold & Ric Angus
Wish your Mom a Merry Christmas 2003

Hours I spend waiting
you know sometimes they seem so long
Surrounded by ceramic gifts
give to me from everyone
The telephone hanging on the wall
and the doorbell never rang
Both of them alone with me
where a single stocking hangs
And there’s a card that came two weeks ago
stands on my old tv
Says mom we’ll be opening gifts
serving dinner around three
If you want you can come early
if you need a ride it’s free
Just call I’ll come and get you just call if you need me

( chorus)
Just call to say I love you just call to say you’re there
And let me know that memories
are more than my gray hair
Just call to say I love you just call to say you care
Wish your Mom a Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year
