Lyrics
Momma was prone to seizure
She passed when I was seven
Daddy raised me on mac an’ cheese
and stories he told about heaven
It’s thirty years on, I’ve got kids of my own,
and a husband who drinks too much
I show a brave face but I’m feelin’ lost
Even mothers need a mother’s touch
I keep the things she gave me –
ev’ry letter and photograph
But somehow I need to hear the sound
of momma’s – momma’s voice
Daddy’s health is failing
So I’m putting his things in order
A pile to keep and a pile to toss
and then I find an old recorder
It’s a reel-to-reel, there’s a box of tapes –
my life won’t be the same
‘Cos there inside with a faded label
is a tape with my mother’s name
I keep the things she gave me –
ev’ry letter and photograph
But somehow I need to hear the sound
of momma’s – momma’s voice
Somehow I need to hear the sound
of momma’s – momma’s voice – momma’s voice
