“MOMMA”
Words by Phyllis Barash & Barry David Butler
Music by Barry David Butler
MOMMA WAS SO WONDERFUL
SHE GAVE LOVE IN A MILLION WAYS
SHE DIED MANY YEARS AGO
BUT HER WISDOM ALWAYS STAYS
I DON’T THINK I UNDERSTOOD
ALL THE THINGS SHE DID FOR ME
YOUNG AND IRRESPONSIBLE
THAT WAS ME
MOMMA, MOMMA
I MISS YOU SO
MOMMA, MOMMA
I WANT YOU TO KNOW
MOMMA, MOMMA
YOU WERE THE BEST
HEY MOM
I MISS YOU SO
ALWAYS HOPED I’D FIND A GIRL
THAT ONE THAT YOU WOULD LOVE
ONE WHO HAD YOUR TENDER HEART
AND FIT ME LIKE A GLOVE
I KEEP A HUNDRED MEMORIES
OF MOMMA IN MY MIND
AND TAP IN TO THAT LOVE
THAT SHE LEFT BEHIND
(CHORUS)
MOMMA LOVED ME UNCON DITIONALLY
AND SHE TAUGHT ME RIGHT FROM WRONG
SHE TOLD ME THERE’D BE STORMY DAYS
AND HOW TO GROW UP STRONG
MY MOMMA WAS A SHINING LIGHT
BROUGHT SO MUCH JOY TO ME
AN ANGEL HERE ON EARTH
FOR ALL TO SEE
(CHORUS)
