This is a heartfelt tribute writen in tears to a departed loving mother. The tone of the song is that of mourning. The solemnity in the singer's voice provokes such emotions as sympathy, regret and wishes that could rather be said to be impossible to grant. The song recounts the last moments of the singers dying mother and how he had hoped she would live a little longer to see her son get married and give her the grandchild she so badly wanted.
