YOU CAN’T ERASE ME
By: Shawn & Dee

TODAY I DECIDED TO MOVE AWAY FROM HOME
I HAD TO CHANGE MY LIFE, HEAD OUT ON MY OWN TWO FEET, I HAD TO BE FREE
I’D BEEN PREPARING FOR THIS DAY, MY FOLKS DIDN’T KNOW QUITE WHAT TO SAY TO ME, BUT THEY SAW THE NEED
THEY TOOK ME ASIDE AND WISHED ME WELL, 
BUT THEY NEVER TOLD ME HOW THEY FELT, BUT I COULD TELL

CHORUS
IT WAS WRITTEN IN MAMA’S EYES, BLUER THAN A CLEAR SUMMER SKY
AND WITH THESE WORDS SHE EASED MY MIND
YOU CAN TAKE EVERYTHING YOU OWN, TRAVEL THE WORLD AND SEARCH YOUR SOUL
EVEN ERASE SOME BAD MEMORIES, BUT YOU CAN’T ERASE ME

TEN YEARS LATER WAITING FOR MY WIFE, STANDING IN THE NURSERY 
HOLDING A NEW LIFE OH LORD, A NEW BABY BOY
UNTIL THE DOCTOR LOOKS MY WAY, MY LITTLE BOYS MAMA
IS SLIPPING AWAY FROM ME, HOW COULD THIS BE
WHEN SHE HELD OUR SON, HE MADE HER MELT
SHE COULDN’T TELL HIM HOW SHE FELT, BUT I COULD TELL

CHORUS 2
IT WAS WRITTEN IN MAMA’S EYES, BLUER THAN A CLEAR SUMMER SKY
AND WITH THESE WORDS SHE MADE ME CRY
YOU CAN TAKE EVERYTHING YOU OWN, TRAVEL THE WORLD AND SEARCH YOUR SOUL
EVEN ERASE SOME BAD MEMORIES, BUT YOU CAN’T ERASE ME

TODAY IS THE BIRTHDAY OF MY SON, HE’S GOING AWAY TO COLLEGE
HIS LIFE HAS BEGUN TO CHANGE, AND HE’S LEAVING TO TODAY
HE SAYS THAT HE WANTS TO MAKE ME PROUD, AND I WISH HIS MAMA
WAS STILL AROUND RIGHT NOW, TO SEE HOW HE’S TURNED OUT
HE SURE LOOKED SCARED WHEN HE LOOKED AT ME, THEN HE SHOOK MY HAND
AND TURNED TO LEAVE, AND I COULD SEE

CHORUS 3
IT WAS WRITTEN INSIDE HIS EYES, BLUER THAN A CLEAR SUMMER SKY
AND WITH THESE WORDS, I EASED HIS MIND
YOU CAN TAKE EVERYTHING YOU OWN, TRAVEL THE WORLD AND SEARCH YOUR SOUL
EVEN ERASE SOME BAD MEMORIES, BUT YOU CAN’T ERASE ME
YOU CAN TAKE EVERYTHING YOU OWN, TRAVEL THE WORLD AND SEARCH YOUR SOUL
EVEN ERASE SOME BAD MEMORIES, BUT YOU CAN’T ERASE ME

YOU CAN’T ERASE ME, YOU CAN’T ERASE ME

MY DARLIN’S BEEN WAITING, I’M GOING HOME
