[E] [D]
[G]
I've just been to heaven [C] with someone [G] so true.
I [D] dreamed about mama [G] last night.
She read me the Bible like [C]
she used [G] to do.
[D] I dreamed about mama [G] last night.
She never closed her eyes and sleep till we were all [C] in bed.
And on [G] party nights till we came home [D] she often sat and read.
We little [G] thought about it then for we were young and gay.
Just how much mama worried when we children were away.
[C] We only knew she never [G] slept and when we were out at night [D] that she waited just to know
that we'd all [G] come home all right.
Why sometimes [C] when we'd stay away till one or two or three it [G] seemed to us that mama
heard the turning of the key.
[Ab] [A] For [B] always when we'd [A] step inside she'd call and [Em] we'd [D] reply.
But we were all too young back then [G] to understand the reason why.
Until the [C] last one had returned [G] she'd always keep a light.
[D] For mama couldn't sleep until she'd kissed us all [G] goodnight.
She had to know that we were safe before she went to rest.
For she seemed [C] to fear the world might harm [G] the one she loved the best.
[D] And once she said when you are grown to women and [G] to men perhaps I'll sleep the whole night
through I may be different then.
And so it [C] seemed that night and day we knew a [G] mother's care.
[D] That always when we got back home we'd find her waiting there.
[G] Then came the night that we were called together [C] round her bed.
The children are all [G] with you now the kindly doctor said.
And [A] in her [D] eyes there [A] gleamed again that old time tender [D] light.
That told that she'd been waiting just to know we [G] were all all right.
She smiled that [C] old familiar smile and [G] prayed to God to keep her [D] children safe from harm
throughout the years.
[G] And then she went to sleep.
My dream is a treasure that [C] I'll [G] always keep.
[D] I dreamed about mama [G] last night.
