For Mama lyrics

Ave Maria

She said: `My daughter, I beg of you
I have a with that must come true
The last thing you can do for Mama
Please promise me that you will stay
And take my place while I`m away
And give the children love each day`
I had to cry, what could I say?

How hard I tried to find the words
I prayed she wouldn`t see my cry
So much to say that should be heard
But only time to say goodbye to Mama

They say in time that you`ll forget
Yet still today my eyes are wet
I tell myself to smile for Mama
Now soon there`ll be another spring
And I will start remembering
The way she loved to hear me sing
Her favorite song, `Ave Maria`

Ave Maria

The children have all grown up now
I kept my promise to Mama
I cannot guide them anymore
I`ve done my best all for Mama

Ave Maria

But still it seems so very small
For all she did for me
