I have a wish that must come true
The last thing you can do
For mama
Please promise me that you will stay
And take my place while I'm away
And give the children love each day
I had to cry what could I say?
How hard I tried to find the words
I prayed she would not see me cry
So much to say that should be heard
But only time to say goodbye to mama
They say in time that you will forget
Yet still today my eyes are wet
I tell myself to smile for Mama
Now soon there'll be another spring
And I will start remembering
The way she loved to hear us sing
Her favourite song 'Ave Maria'
Ave Maria
The children all have grown up now
I kept my promise to mama
I cannot guide them anymore
I've done my best all for mama
Ave Maria
Still this seems so very small
For all
She did for me
She said my son I beg of you I have a wish that must come true The last thing you can do For mama Please promise me that you will stay And take my place while I'm away And give the children love each day I had to cry what could I say? How hard I tried to find the words I prayed she would not see me cry So much to say that should be heard But only time to say goodbye to mama They say in time that you will forget Yet still today my eyes are wet I tell myself to smile for Mama Now soon there'll be another spring And I will start remembering The way she loved to hear us sing Her favourite song 'Ave Maria' Ave Maria The children all have grown up now I kept my promise to mama I cannot guide them anymore I've done my best all for mama Ave Maria Still this seems so very small For all She did for me Explain Request ×
