Mama

Mama, the one that wipes the noses and the tears Mama, the one who keeps the peace and calms the fears She irons and washes clothes She cooks, she cleans, she sews She's good about resolving family drama A friend, our guiding light She's daddy's loving wife A constant in our lives Mama The one that never sleeps 'til all's in bed The one that never eats 'til all are fed Her never-ending love, Her gentle, caring touch She never asked for much Mama Oh mama, the one that wipes the noses and the tears Oh mama, the one who keeps the peace and calms the fears She irons and washes clothes She cooks, she cleans, she sews An angel heaven knows Mama Mama you will always be The very core and heart of me And even though you're gone I see your love in everything When I look in my children's eyes It makes me think and realize What you've done to enrich my life I hope I can do the same Oh mama, the one who wipes the noses and the tears Oh mama, the one who keeps the peace and calms the fears She irons and washes clothes She cooks, she cleans, she sews An angel heaven knows Mama A friend, our guiding light She's daddy's loving wife A constant in our lives Mama An angel in our lives Sweet mama Oh mama Mmm-hmm I love you, mama
