“O MAMMA”

O Mamma I love you
O Mamma I care
I’m here thinking of you
Way up there

O Mamma can you hear me—way up above ?
I want you near me—so you can feel my love

O Mamma I love you
O Mamma I’m true
Can’t stop thinking of you
What am I to do?

O Mamma how are you?
t’So hard to let you go from this place
I thank God you died peaceful
with a smile on your face

O Mamma can you hear me?
Better now without ears?
Can you feel my heart beat?
Can you hear this song?

There are things I’d do over
if I got the chance
but I tried my best ‘cause
I knew life doesn’t last

O Mamma I can feel your—arms around me
I wish you were here, so we could relax and watch TV

I know you had to go
everyone does
It’s a simple truth
I’m filled with your love

O Mamma I’m crying
O Mamma I’m blue
Without you, I still I wake up
two a.m. like we used to do

O Mamma I hear you
in all I think and say
I do things just like you
I learned from all your ways

O Mamma I love you
O Mamma you’re mine
Life is heartbreak after heartbreak
still we must shine

I’m keepin’ your house clean
just as you would do
Somehow it became springtime
The tulip stalks tell me so

O Mamma can you hear me?
O Mamma where are you?
Can you take me with you?
Even if I don’t stay?

There are things I’d do over
There are things I’d do
One thing I did perfect
was be in love with you

O Mamma I love you
O Mamma I’m true
I’m here thinkin of you
What am I to do?

O Mamma can you hear me
Way up above?
I know you are near me
I know you feel my love.
