You Can't Lose Me
Faith Hill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A little too slow for the field day race
Momma's waiting 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
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 use 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
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"

The second verse is sung by the daughter, now grown up and leaving home to start her own life. Her mother expresses her pride, but also her sadness at the parting. In response, the daughter assures her mother that their love will always keep them close, no matter where life takes them.
The chorus is the heart of the song, with Hill's soaring vocals and heartfelt lyrics. It emphasizes the mother's enduring presence in her child's life, no matter where they go or what challenges they face. The repeated line "You can't lose me" becomes a powerful declaration of love, underscoring the unwavering commitment between a mother and child.

This song has brought me so much sadness but comfort after I've lost my mother. I cry just about every time, but it in a way it helps me keep my memory of my mother. One of the best songs ever.
Jake Henley
Such a great song. I’m not sure why it wasn’t on her greatest hits album. It seems they ignored most of her early albums.
Susie Kemper
What a beautiful video. The singing, all of the white dresses, all the little ones, the ocean, and the lyrics. I think this is one of my favorites by Faith. Thx for sharing.

What I love about the way Faith sings this is that husky,, hoarse raspy quality to her voice she uses in this, which perfectly fits the song like a glove.. It is simply SENSATIONAL. There is no other singer in the WORLD that could sing it like that. The only other version of this song has been taken down.off YouTube. Please Dear God - protect this from the same fate,

Faith Hill is simply the best!!!!!!
