Hug Your Mama Tonight
G
There comes a time when the good lord calls
C
A time when we must part with all
G
I just want to see my mama
D C G
One last time
G
As I write this song diving down the road
C
The tears keep running down my nose
G
The doctor says the time is near
C D C G
But mama still smiles and calls me dear
G
She small and frail, cant see nor hear very well
C
But brightens the room with her light gray hair
G
We look at pictures and reminisce
C
About all the days were going to miss
G
Ive got to find the courage and strength
C D C G
To help my mama with her last fate
Chorus
G
Dont let the time pass you by
C
Go home and hug your mama tonight (tight)
G
Let her know you love her too
C D C G
She might be gone before the day is through
Mama used to read to me
Was always turning off the TV
Mama always remembered me
Every birthday and anniversary
Many times she was my only friend
Looked over me like am old red hen
Mama sure loved my sisters and me
She gave her life relentlessly
Chorus
Sometimes mama would take us to the beach
Rub suntan oil on us and
Keep us from going out to deep
Mama always kept us fed
We liked her spaghetti and cornbread
Bathed us good and washed our heads
Every night she would tuck us in bed
I cry uncontrollably
Knowing mamas lifes in jeopardy
Chorus
Heavens going to be a better place
Now that mamas found her resting place
The tears welled up in my eyes
The lump in my throat made it hard to say goodbye
Ill never forget that smile on her face
No one will ever take her place
Mom will be looking down on me
Ive got to be good to make her proud of me
I pray the lord my soul to keep
Cmaj D C G
And mamas in heaven waiting on me
Chorus
G
There comes a time when the good lord calls
C
A time when we must part with all
G
I just want to see my mama
D C G
One last time
