Play, mama, play
Sing me a song like you sang to me a long time ago
Play, mama, play
Take me away on the strains of tunes you sang into my soul
Years I've been away, then I've grown
enough But times that I've seen you so few
When my problems keep on bearing
down I draw a quiet strength from you
Wouldn't bother me if the world stopped turning right now,
cause I'm listening to you
It's been such a time since I heard you laugh,
and that's a thing I really do
Play,
mama,
play Sing me a song like you sang to me a long time ago
Play, mama, play
Take me away on the strains of tunes you sang into my soul
Changes that have been since you first did them,
they never cease to be a wonder to you
Even with the pain and my hurtful
pride at the things I've failed to do
It wouldn't worry me if the world stopped turning right now,
cause I'm listening to
you It's been such a time since I heard you laugh,
and that's a thing I really do
Play,
mama,
play Sing me a song like you sang to me
a long time ago
Play, mama, play
Take me away on the strains of tunes you sang into my soul
Play, mama, play
Sing me a song like you sang to me a long time ago
Play,
mama,
play Take me away on the strains of tunes you sang into my soul
Play, mama, play
Sing me a song like you sang to me a long time ago
