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