And She Loved Me

Dedicated to my mother, Lucile Coffman Potter

Music and lyrics by Richard C. Potter

Produced by John Custer

When I was a little boy,

I was always running scared

I just knew them monsters was after me.

But my mother took me into her arms

And helped me see,

It was all in my imagination.

(Refrain)

And she loved me,

Ooh, she loved me,

And she held me, she caressed my fevered brow.

And she loved me,

Ooh, she loved me.

If not for her who knows where I would be right now?

My mother with my wife, Grace, at Christmas time, 2000.

She passed away in the spring of the following year.

But like the song says, she lives on within my heart.

Then one day my hero died,

The papers said that it was suicide.

I could not believe George Reeves was gone.

But my mother took me into her arms

And tried to help me see,

Regardless of your sadness, life goes on.

(Refrain)

And she loved me,

Ooh, she loved me,

And she held me, she caressed my fevered brow.

And she loved me,

Ooh, she loved me.

If not for her who knows where I would be right now?

When I was a little boy,

I drew an angel with feathery wings

I told my mother, "This is who you are."

That is how I saw her then,

And that is how I feel her now,

Not really gone, she lives on within my heart.

(Refrain)

And she loved me,

Ooh, she loved me,

And she held me, she caressed my fevered brow.

And she loved me,

Ooh, she loved me.

If not for her who knows where I would be right now?

(Middle 8)

I grew up, we grew apart,

And then I left her all alone.

There was so much to do, and I couldn't wait.

But when I learned that she lay dying,

I rushed to be back by her side,

By the time that I got there, I was too late.

(instrumental interlude)

But chasing after money and success

Led me nowhere near to happiness.

And that old empty feeling grew stronger each day.

And when I stared into the void,

I heard it calling, beckoning me.

I said to George, "I think now I understand."

But then I felt those loving arms

And someone whispered in my ear,

"When you cross the street, be sure that you take my hand."
