First day of school, he looks so scared
She can't let go, and leave him there
His teacher greets them at the door
His heart is sinking down to the floor

He brushes back a tear, and tries to hide his fear
Puts on a smile, and whispers in her ear

Hey Mom, you know, I love you so
But now it's time for me to go
Wipe away those tears, and put on a smile
You know I'd be with you
If I could be in two places, at one time

The bags are packed, the car is full
His wife, she's yelling, "Baby, it's time to go
Time for him to grow up and be a man
And Momma says, "son, I know you can"

PRECHORUS
CHORUS

The years fly by, she fights the fight
Please God, not now, it's Christmas night
He holds her hand, stares deep in her eyes
He knows it's time to let this angel fly

He brushes back a tear, tries to hide his fear
Forces a smiles, and whispers in her ear

Hey Mom, you know, I love you so
And even though, it's time for you to go
I won't shed a tear, and I'll try to smile

Cause you'll always be with me
You can be in two places
Now you can be in two places
Momma, you can be in two places
At one time
