For Mama

She said, my son, I beg of you
I have a wish, that must come true
The last thing you can do, for Mama

Please, promise me, that you will stay
And take my place, while, I'm away
And give the children love, each day
I had to cry, what could I say?

How hard I tried, to find a word
I prayed, she would not see me cry
So much to say, that should be heard
But only time to say, "Goodbye", to Mama

They say, in time, you will forget
Yet still, today, my eyes, are wet
I tell myself to smile, for Mama

Now, soon, there'll be another spring
And I will start, remembering
The way she loved, to hear us sing
Her favorite song, Ave Maria

Ave Maria

The children, all, have grown up, now
I kept my promise, to Mama
I cannot guide them, anymore
I've done my best, all, for Mama

Ave Maria

Still, it seems, so very small
For all she did, for me
