Connie Francis - For Mama Lyrics
Ave MariaShe said: "My daughter, I beg of youI have a with that must come trueThe last thing you can do for MamaPlease promise me that you will stayAnd take my place while I'm awayAnd give the children love each day"I had to cry, what could I say?How hard I tried to find the wordsI prayed she wouldn't see my crySo much to say that should be heardBut only time to say goodbye to MamaThey say in time that you'll forgetYet still today my eyes are wetI tell myself to smile for MamaNow soon there'll be another springAnd I will start rememberingThe way she loved to hear me singHer favorite song, "Ave Maria"Ave MariaThe children have all grown up nowI kept my promise to MamaI cannot guide them anymoreI've done my best all for MamaAve MariaBut still it seems so very smallFor all she did for me
