you can't lose me lyrics

A little girl, a little small for her age
A little too slow for the field day race
Momma's waitin' at the finish line
And wipes the teardrops from her eyes

She says, "You did just fine, honey, that's okay
Sometimes life's just that way
You're gonna lose the race from time to time
But you're always gonna find"

You can't lose me, you bet your life
I am here, and I will always be just a wish away
Wherever you go no matter how far
My love is where you are
You won't be lost if you believe
You can't lose me

Momma used to say, girl, it won't be long
'Til it's time to go out on your own
Chase your dreams, find your place in life
I know you'll do just fine

When that day finally came
There were things she needed to, but could not say
So I whispered softly as I wiped
The tears from Momma's eyes

You can't lose me, you bet your life
I am here, and I will always be, just a wish away
Wherever I go, no matter how far
My love is where you are
You won't be lost if you believe
You can't lose me

Wherever you go, no matter how far
My love is where you are
You won't be lost if you believe
You can't lose me

No, you can't lose me
(Bet your life)
Wherever you go
(No matter how far)
My love is where you are

(Can't lose me)
Yeah, you can't lose me
(Can't lose me)
No, you can't lose me
(Can't lose me)
No, you can't lose me
