Song for Mama
As I sit here at the piano
My thoughts drift far away
To a place outside of Cape Town
Where a lady sits all day
I wonder what she's doing now
After all the years I've gone
All the things I did when I was young
That night have been so wrong
Mama used to say, My son
Why don't you get a job
And my answer was, Oh Mama dear
I make my music, can't you hear
Mama used to work so hard
To keep us all alive
And I owe Mama so much more
'Cause through her I survived
Mama can't you hear
This song is just for you
For all the love you've given me
Here's my song for you
Mama, Mama can't you hear
This is my song for you
For all the love and happiness
That you've given me
Mama can't you hear
This song is just for you
For all the love you've given me
Here's my song for you
Mama can't you hear
This song is just for you
For all the love you've given me
Here's my song for you
Mama used to say, My son
Why don't you get a job
And my answer was, Oh Mama dear
I make my music, can't you hear
Mama used to work so hard
To keep us all alive
And I owe Mama so much more
'Cause through her I survived
Mama can't you hear
This song is just for you
For all the love you've given me
Here's my song for you
Mama can't you hear
This song is just for you
For all the love you've given me
Here's my song for you
How can I repay you, Mom
For the love and all the joy
All that I can tell you, Mom
I'm still your happy boy
How can I repay
How can I repay you for your love and joy
All that I can tell you, Mom
I'm still your happy boy
As I sit here at the piano
