I've just been to [E] heaven [G] with someone [D] so true [A] I dreamed about mama [D] last night
She read me the bible [G] like she [D] used to do [A] I dreamed about mama [D] last night
She never closed [G] her eyes in sleep [D] till we were all in bed
[A] And on party nights till we came home [D] she often sat and read
We little thought about it then cause we were [G] young and gay
[D] Just how much mama [A] worried when we children were awake
We [D] only knew she never slept when we were out at [G] night
And that she waited just to know [D] that we'd come home alright
Why [Em] sometimes [D] we'd stay away till one [E] or two or three
[A] It seemed to us that mama heard the turning of the key
[D] For always when we'd step inside [G] she'd call and we'd reply
[D] But we were all [A] too young back then to understand the reason why
[D] [D] Until the last one returned she'd always keep a light
For mama couldn't [G] sleep until she'd [D] kissed us all goodnight
[A] She had to know that we were safe before she went to rest
[D] Cause she seemed to fear the world might harm
The ones she loved the best
And [G] once she [C#] said when you've grown to [D] women and to men
[A] Perhaps I'll sleep the whole night through I may be different [D] then
And so it seemed that night [G] and day we knew a mother's care
That always [D] when we got back home we'd find her waiting there
[E] And then came the night [Bm] that we were called together [A] around her bed
The children are all with you [Dm] now, the kindly doctor said
[D] And in her [G] eyes there gleamed again that [D] old time tender light
[A] That told us that she'd been waiting just to [D] know that we were alright
Then she smiled that [Dm] old familiar [G] smile and prayed to God to keep
Her children safe from [D] harm throughout the years
[A] And then she went to sleep
