She said "My Son, I beg of you
I have a wish that must come true
The less thing you can do for your 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 a word
I prayed she would not see me cry
So much to say that should be heard
But only time to say goodbye to Mama

Oh Mama

They say in time you will forget
Yet still today my eyes are wet
I tell myself to smile for my Mama
Now soon there'll be another spring
And I will stop remembering
The way she loved to hear a sing
Of her favourite song, Ave Maria

Ave Maria

The children have all grown up now
But kept my promise to Mama
And i cannot guide them anymore
Lord knows I've done my best, all for Mama

The family's left, i feel so none
I should have known this day will come
But still i try to smile for my mama
You know,it hurts so much to see them go
They have their last .... i know
Now i will watch their children grow
And here again Ave Maria

Ave Maria

Then i will feel the deepest joy
Yes, i'll kiss them all for mama
And i'll feel so proud that i
Made her wish come true for mama
Still this seems so small
For all she did for me
