when i was just a kid at the age of  three
mamma was a singer wrote a  song for me
when bedtime came around mamma she would be
playing her guitar sing her melody

i would lay in bed listen to her song
until i got tired i would sing along
voice of angel gentle as can be
song she wrote herself especially for me

she would sing it to me till my eyes began to close
then to mamas song i would gently doze
when im all grown up i will sing her melody
sing it my children like mama did to me
