MAMA

WORDS AND MUSIC

By

HELEN CONSTANTINE

Mama, how I wish, I had said

Mama, the words I hid, instead

Mama, I’m sure you understood

Much more, than I thought you often could.

Mama, it’s too soon to say, goodbye.

Mama, my heart and I still cry

Thank you, mama, for all the love you gave

Mama, so tiny yet so brave,

No one can ever take your place

Mama, through those hard weary years,

Mama, you hid your tears and fears.

And now mama, your light still guide my way

Mama, no words can ever say.

Just how you’re missed from day to day.

Mama how I wish I had said

Mama the words

 I hid instead
