For Mama

编曲 : Johnnie Spence

She said my son I beg of you

I have a wish that must come true

The last thing you can do

For mama

Please promise me that you will stay

And take my place while I'm away

And give the children love each day

I had to cry what could I say?

How hard I tried to find the words

I prayed she would not see me cry

So much to say that should be heard

But only time to say goodbye to mama

They say in time that you'll forget

Yet still today my eyes are wet

I tell myself to smile for Mama

Now soon there'll be another spring

And I will start remembering

The way she loved to hear us sing

Her favourite song 'Ave Maria'

Ave Maria

The children all have grown up now

I kept my promise to mama

I cannot guide them anymore

I've done my best all for mama

Ave Maria

Still this seems so very small

For all

She did for me
