Richard Melvin Brown - My Real Mom Lyrics

When I was only five years old it never occurred to me
That I was loved more than anyone could ever be and you know
I don't know why but in the blink of an eye
She'd always be there for me
Even though I was told she wasn't my real mom

When I was just sixteen I was the king of the world it seemed
I'd come home late from a teenage date to find her waiting up for me
And I never let my emotions show when she told me she loved me
And it ain't my fault after all she wasn't my real mom

You know I've never met the mysterious one that folks would call my real mom
I am the phantom son of a mysterious one who is a real life total stranger
But in my heart I know she had a real life good reason for letting this phantom go
I just pray her real life has been half as good
As the boy in my real life childhood
You see I was the chosen one of a real life angel sent from up above
Who I'm now so proud to call my real mom

Now it's been many years since God reached down and carried his angel back home
And I thank my lucky stars that within my heart her memory remains
I'd give all the blue in the sky for that look in her eye
When this grown man finally says I Love You
To the angel who I now call my real mom

You know I've never met the mysterious one that folks would call my real mom
I am the phantom son of a mysterious one who is a real life total stranger
But in my heart I know she had a real life good reason for letting this phantom go
I just pray her real life has been half as good
As the boy in my real life childhood
You see I was the chosen one of a real life angel sent from up above
Who I'm now so proud to call my real mom
