I Dreamed About Mom Last Night
I've just been to heaven with someone so true I dreamed about mama last nightShe read me the Bible like she used to do I dreamed about mama last nightShe never close her eyes to sleep till we were all in bedAnd on party nights till we came home she often sat and readWe little thought about it then for we were young and gayJust how much mama worried when we children were awayWe only knew she never slept and when we were out at nightThat she waited just to know that we'd all come home alrightWhy sometimes when we'd stay away till one or two or threeIt seemed to us that mama heard the turnin' of the keyFor always when we'd step inside she'd call and we'd replyBut we were all too young back then to understand the reason whyUntil the last one had returned she'd always keep a lightFor mama couldn't sleep until she kissed us all goodnightShe had to know we were safe before she went to rest For she seemed to fear the world might harm the ones She loved best and once she said when you have grown into woman and to menPerhaps I'll sleep the whole night through I may be different thenAnd so it seemed that night and day we knew a mother's careThat always when we got back home we'd find her waitin' thereThen came the night that we were called to gather roun her bedLetras de cancionesThe children're all with you now the kindly doctor saidAnd in her eyes there gleamed again that old time tender lightThat told she'd been waitin just to know we were alrightShe smiled that old familiar smile and prayed to God to keepHer children safe from harm throughout the years tand Then she went to sleepMy dream is a treasure that I'll always keep I dreamed about mama last night From Letras Mania
