(I've just been to heaven with someone so true I dreamed about mama last night
2
She read me the Bible like she used to do I dreamed about mama last night)
3
She never closed her eyes and sleep till we were all in bed
4
And on party nights till we came home she often sat and read
5
We little thought about it then for we were young and gay
6
Just how much mama worried when we children were away
7
We only knew she never slept then when we were out at night
8
That she waited just to know that we'd all come home all right
9
Why sometimes when we'd stay away until one or two or three
10
It seemed to us that mama heard the turning of the key
11
For always when we'd step aside she'd call and we'd reply
12
But we were all too young back then to understand the reason why
13
Until the last one had returned she'd always keep a light
14
For mama couldn't sleep until she kissed us all goodnight
15
She had to know that we were safe before she went to rest
16
For she seemed to fear the world might harm the ones she loved the best
17
And once she told me when you're grown to women and to men
18
Perhaps I'll sleep the whole night through I may be different then
19
And so it seemed that night and day we knew a mother's care
20
That always when we got back home we'd find her waitin' there
21
Then came the night that we were called together round her bed
22
The children're all with you now the kindly doctor said
23
And in her eyes there gleamed again that old time tender light
24
That told that she's just been waitin' to know that we were all right
25
She smiled that old familiar smile and prayed to God to keep
26
Her children safe from harm throughout the years and then she went to sleep
27
(My dream is a treasure that I'll always keep I dreamed about mama last night)
