Mama’s Face Lyrics by Cal Smith

My Kind Of Country

0

My mama loved my dad for fifty years
And she worked along beside him in the fields
He never gave her much but he gave her all he had
Dad's the only reason my mama lived

My mama's face would light up like a diamond
Each time my daddy walked into the room
She'd stop what she was doing
And put her arms around him
Dad's the only world my mama knew

Mama never saw her roses bloom that year
The angels came before the Robin's song
Mama said she didn't mind going on ahead
But heaven won't be heaven till dad is home

When mama left she left dad a lonely man
But he talked to mama like she was still here
He'd talk about the hard times
And the good times that they'd had
As his old mind slipped back across the years

Daddy never ploughed his fields again
He just sat down to wait his time to come
Then one day he said, "I think I hear a choir singing"
And he closed his eyes and went to live with mom

Lord, I wanna thank You for the years
That they were here for me to love
And though it's hard to let 'em go
Lord, You know I'd let 'em go again
If I could just have been there
And seen my mama's face when my dad walked in
