I Remember Mama 歌詞

I remember mama, And the love that she gave Kneeling by her bed side I can still hear mama say, "the people are depending on you, shirley, Don't you let them down" I remember mama in a happy way We went to school with holes in our shoes We didn't have much but the lord saw us through Mama kept the family together I remember mama in a happy way She packed our lunch in an old greasy bag It might've seemed empty, But it was more than others had It had a lot of love way down deep inside and I remember mama in a happy way Now mama is sleeping in the bosom of jesus christ Somehow i know she's smiling, she's smiling on us right now One day i'll see her again, how happy i will be And i remember mama in a happy way My brothers and sisters, they're living far apart Although my mama's gone, she's right here in our hearts We're all gonna pull together and stay in the holy place I remember mama in a happy way I remember mama, i remember mama in a happy way
