Ferlin Husky - Mother Watch Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Oh what a wonderful happy day up there on the golden strand
  • When I can hear Jesus my Saviour say shake hands with mother again
  • She never closed her eyes at night till we were all in bed
  • On partly nights till we came home she often sat and read
  • We little thought about it then when we were young and gay
  • How much mama worried when we children were away
  • We only knew she never slept when we were out at night
  • And that she waited just to know that we come home all right
  • Why sometimes we stayed out till one two or three
  • And it seemed to us that mama heard the turning of the key
  • For always when we stepped inside she'd call and we'd reply
  • But we were all too young back then to understand just why
  • Until the last one had reuturned she always kept the light
  • For mama couldn't sleep until she kissed us all goodnight
  • She had to know that we were safe before she went to rest
  • She seemed to fear the world might harm the ones she loved the best
  • And once she said when you have grown to women and to men
  • Perhaps I'll sleep the whole night through I may be different then
  • And so it seemed that night or day we knew a mother's care
  • That always we got back home we'd find her waiting there
  • Then came the night when we were called together around her bed
  • The children all are with you now the kindly doctor said
  • And in her eyes there gleamed again the old time tender light
  • That told that she had been waiting just to know we were all right
  • She smiled the old familiar smile then prayed to God to keep
  • A safe from harm throughout the years and then she went to sleep
  • Shake hands with mother again
