(For my dearest mother Pacita)
(Blues in E major /by jun asuncion)
Verse 1:
I’ve been searching high and low,
For the place where my mama lays,
I’ve been traveling far and wide,
Through the nights and through the days.
Chorus:
It’s been a long, lonely journey,
Trying to find my mama’s grave,
But I finally found today,
The place where she rests in peace.
Verse 2:
It’s been three long years of pain,
Since the day that she passed on,
And I’ve been searching ever since,
For the place where she is gone.
Chorus:
It’s been a long, lonely journey,
Trying to find my mama’s grave,
But I finally found today,
The place where she rests in peace.
Verse 3:
I’ve been walking through the rain,
And I’ve been walking through the storms,
I’ve been searching high and low,
For the place where she would go.
Chorus:
It’s been a long, lonely journey,
Trying to find my mama’s grave,
But I finally found today,
The place where she rests in peace.
Verse 4:
Now I stand here at her grave,
And I feel a sense of peace,
For I know that she’s in heaven,
And her soul has found release.
Chorus:
It’s been a long, lonely journey,
Trying to find my mama’s grave,
But I finally found today,
The place where she rests in peace.
Outro:
I’ll always cherish the memories,
Of the love that she gave to me,
And I’ll never forget the journey,
That brought me to where I need to be.
