When Mama Sang (The Angels Stopped To Listen)

Mama didn't have special trainin'

She couldn't read the music, just the words

But when she'd stand to sing on Sunday mornin'

She had the sweetest voice I think I've, I've ever heard.

She loved to sing the songs about our Savior

"There is a Fountain", was her favorite one

And I've seen tears roll down the cheeks of sinners

By the time my mama's song was done.

When mama sang the angels stopped to listen

You could see the love light shinin' in her face

When mama sang the angels stopped to listen

Now in heaven's choir she has a special place.

You know my daddy wanted me to sing a song

The day that mama left us

And you know that little church

Was filled with all of mama's friends

And you know it seems we could all hear mama singin'

When I couldn't finish up her favorite hymn.

When mama sang the angels stopped to listen

You could see the love light shining in her face

When mama sang the angels stopped to listen

Now in heaven's choir she has a special place.

When mama sang the angels stopped to listen.
