My Yiddishe Momme

My yiddishe momme I need her more then ever now

My yiddishe momme I'd like to kiss that wrinkled brow

I long to hold her hands once more as in days gone by

And ask her to forgive me for things I did that made her cry

How few were her pleasures, she never cared for fashion's styles

Her jewels and treasures she found them in her baby's smiles

Oh I know that I owe what I am today

To that dear little lady so old and gray

To that wonderful yiddishe momme of mine
