Momma's Song

Copyright 2011 Robert J. Thompson, BMI

YOU NEVER SAID AN ANGRY WORD
YOUR LIPS NEVER TOUCHED THE WINE
YOU NEVER WANTED ANYTHING
AS LONG AS WE WERE FINE

YOU WORKED SO HARD TO PAY THE BILLS
YOUR HEART SO WARM AND KIND
BUT NOW IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO REST
AND EASE YOUR WORRIED MIND

THERE COMES A TIME IN EVERY LIFE
THERE COMES A TIME TO DIE
THERE COMES A TIME IN EVERY DEATH
THERE COMES A TIME TO FLY
SO FLY AWAY MY ANGEL DEAR
RIDE ON THE WHISPERING WIND
INTO THE AFTERWORLD OF LIGHT
YOUR NEW LIFE WILL BEGIN

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

I'LL SURELY MISS YOUR SMILING FACE
YOU'VE TAUGHT YOUR SON SO WELL
I KNOW YOU'RE IN A BETTER PLACE
ON THIS I SHALL NOT DWELL

OH MOMMA HOW I LOVE YOU SO
WATCHED OVER ME FROM BIRTH
YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN MY ANGEL DEAR
MY ANGEL HERE ON EARTH

THERE COMES A TIME IN EVERY LIFE
THERE COMES A TIME TO DIE
THERE COMES A TIME IN EVERY DEATH
THERE COMES A TIME TO FLY
SO FLY AWAY MY ANGEL DEAR
RIDE ON THE WHISPERING WIND
INTO THE AFTERWORLD OF LIGHT
YOUR NEW LIFE WILL BEGIN

EVERYONE MUST LIVE THEIR LIFE
AND EVERYONE MUST DIE
DYING'S JUST THE BEGINNING
THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF TIME
