1
I've just been to heaven with someone so true
2
I dreamed about Mama last night
3
She read me the Bible as she used to do
4
I dreamed about Mama last night
5
She never closed her eyes to sleep
6
Till we were all in bed
7
And on party nights till we came home
8
She always sat and read
9
We had little thought about it then
10
For we were young and gay
11
Just how much Mama worried
12
When we children were away
13
We only knew she never slept
14
While we were out at night
15
That she waited just to know
16
That we'd all come home alright
17
And sometimes when we'd stay away
18
Till 1 or 2 or 3
19
It seemed to us that Mama heard
20
The turning of the key
21
For always when we'd step inside
22
She'd call and we'd reply
23
We were all too young back then
24
To understand the reason why
25
Till the last one had returned
26
She always kept a light
27
For Mama couldn't sleep until
28
She'd kissed us all good night
29
She had to know we were safe
30
Before she went to rest
31
For she always feared the world might harm
32
The ones she loved the best
33
Once she said, "When you are grown
34
To women and to men
35
Perhaps I'll sleep the whole night through
36
It might be different then"
37
So it seemed that night and day
38
We knew our mother's care
39
For always when we got back home
40
We found her waiting there
41
Then came the day
42
We were called together 'round her bed
43
"The children are all with ya now"
44
The kindly doctor said
45
Then in her eyes there gleamed again
46
That old-time tender light
47
That told that she waited
48
Just to know we made it home alright
49
She smiled that old familiar smile
50
And prayed to God to keep
51
Her children safe from harm throughout the years
52
And then she went asleep
53
My dream is a treasure that I'll always keep
54
I dreamed about Mama last night
