Story behind the song
This song was written for my mother who brought me comfort and hope when I was afraid of "the dark".
Lyrics
MAMA SAID TONITE
Like daffodils and daisies
All tucked in bed
What a long day it's been
Children she said
She kisses our heads
And she touches our hair
Listens to our stories
Ends with a prayer
(Chorus)
And there's only one light in sight
In the darkness of the night
Don't be afraid
The sun's on it's way
Let sleep surround you tonight
MAMA SAID, MAMA SAID TONITE
MAMA SAID, MAMA SAID TONITE
Just before midnight
I hear my mama cry
So much is on her mind
It's our little secret
Those tears with no trace
Curled up on my mama's lap
She touches my face
(Chorus)
And there's only one light in sight
In the darkness of the night
Don't be afraid the sun's on it's way
Let sleep surround you tonight
MAMA SAID, MAMA SAID TONITE
MAMA SAID, MAMA SAID TONITE
(Bridge)
I know you are afraid
You can be brave
My love is your strength
When you're alone in the night
I'll shine bright
I'll be beside you
Holding you tight
MAMA SAID, MAMA SAID TONITE
MAMA SAID, MAMA SAID TONITE
