I've just been to heaven with someone so true I
dreamed about mama last night She read me her
Bible like she used to do I dreamed about mama
last night Mama used to never go to sleep at night
until all of us were in bed On party nights till
we come home she often sat up and read We little
thought about it then for we were young and gay
Just how much mama worried when children were away
We only knew that she never slept when we were out
at night That she waited just to know that we were
all gonna come home alright Why sometimes we'd
stayed away till one or two or three And I used to
think that mama could hear the turning of the key
For we'd step aside and she'd call and we'd reply
But we were all too young back then to understand
just why But up until the last one had returned
mama always kept a light She couldn't go to sleep
until she kissed us all goodnight I think mama

to rest She seemed to fear that the world might
harm the ones that she loved the best One time she
told me when you're grown to women and to men I'll
sleep the whole night through I bet I'll be
different then And so it seemed that night and day
we knew a mother's care Then always when we got
back home we'd find her waiting there And then
came the night that we were called together round
her bed The children're all with you now the
kindly doctor said And in her eyes there gleamed
again that old time tender light That told that
she's just been waitin' to know that we were all
alright She smiled that old familiar smile and
prayed to God to keep Her children safe from harm
throughout the years then mama went to sleep My
dream is a treasure that I'll always keep I
dreamed about mama last night
