Mama's Cooking
Walk into my kitchen and the years just disappear
Those old familiar smells from old family recipes
Flood my mind with memories and I go back in time
I see my mama there in front of me
Just a little boy/girl beside her there I am once again
Learning all those little things you can't learn in books
She said my mama showed me, I'll pass it on to you
And that's how I learned how our family cooks
(Chorus)
I'm just looking while mama's cooking
A pinch of this, a dash of that then smother it with love
I'm just looking while mama's cooking
Love was Mama's secret you can never use too much
(Inst. Break)
Jesus took my mama from us and left an empty space
But I'm guided by a secret that she left behind
A smell comes from my kitchen, the years just roll away
Her old recipe takes me back in time
(Chorus)
I'm just looking while mama's cooking
A pinch of this, a dash of that then smother it with love
I'm just looking while mama's cooking
Love was Mama's secret you can never use too much
(Tag)
Love was Mama's secret you can never use too much
