Mama's Song

Mama used to send us early to bed on Christmas Eve

She became Santa's helper and they took care of me

We would wake up early from our beds only to see

The love she had for all of us was left beneath the tree

One day I know we'll be together

When the Lord brings me to you

Then I know, I will be in Heaven

When my eyes can rest on you

But until then I will remember

All the good times that we've shared

I'll hang a star upon this tree for you

On Christmas Day I know you'll be there too

Now that I am all grown up with children of my own

I see the happiness in their eyes, somehow I wish I'd known

But not a Christmas Day goes by, that I will not see

The gift you gave to all of us was the love you gave to me

One day I know we'll be together

When the Lord brings me to you

Then I know I will be in Heaven

When my eyes can rest on you

But until then I will remember

All the good times that we shared

I'll hang a star upon this tree for you

Mama, on Christmas Day I know you'll be there too

One day I know we'll be together

Then I know I will be in Heaven

I won't have to remember

'Cause I'm standing there with you

Of a time that you and I always knew

Mama, on Christmas Day I'll finally be with you

Joy to the world, the Lord has come
