"Mama" lyrics

Mama

Mama
Here's to mama
Who held me close
And loved me so
And tenderly
Helped me to grow

Mama
Who patched my clothes
And cleaned my nose
And kept me warm
From the winter's cold

Mama
Who was the first
To give me life
The first to teach me
About Christ
Mama

Mama
Here's to mama
Who did without
To feed her kids
And loved us so
The way you did

Mama
Who always had
Kind words to say
Guide me through
God's shining way

Mama
And although I cannot repay
I love you, mom
And will always
Mama

This is your son
Oh mama, I love you
I'm singing your song
Oh mama, I need you

Though I'm too
Big now to cry
Yeah, that's a tear, mom
In my eye
Oh, mama
Mama, I love you
And I mama
Mama, I need you
