For Mamma

Ave MariaShe said "My Daughter, I beg of youI have a wish that must come trueThe last thing you can do for MamaPlease promise me that you will stayAnd take my place while I'm awayAnd give the children love each day"I had to cry, what could I sayHow hard I tried to find a wordI prayed she wouldn't see me crySomuch to say that should be heardBut only time to say goodbye to MamaThey say in time that you forgetYet still today my eyes are wetI tell myself to smile for MamaNow soon there'll be another springAnd I will start rememberingThe way she loved to hear me singHer favourite song, Ave MariaAve MariaThe children have all grown up nowI've kept my promise to MamaI cannot guide them anymoreI've done my best, all for MamaAve MariaBut still it seems so very smallFor all she did for me
