Mamas Face

G                D7            G
My mama loved my dad for fifty years

        C                          
And she worked along beside him in 
    G
the fields

C                          G     
He never gave her much but he 
             C
gave her all he had

G              D7          G
Dad's the only reason mama lived


G                    D7          
My mama's face would light up 
    G
like a diamond

     C                             
Each time my daddy walked into the 
G
room

C                                 
She'd stop what she was doing and 
G             C
put her arms around him

G              D7            G
Dad's the only world my mama knew

Mama never saw her roses bloom that 
year

    C                              
The angels came before the robin's 
G
song

C                         G
Mama said she didn't mind going on 
ahead

                    D7         
But heaven won't be heaven till 
         G
daddy’s home


G                  D7         G
When mama left she left dad a lonely
 man

       C                           
But he talked to mama like she was 
      G
still here

C                                 
He'd talk about the hard times and
     G                      C
 the good times that they'd had

G                       D7       
As his old mind slipped back 
       G
across the years


            D7                G
Daddy never plowed his fields again

     C                             
He’d just sat down and wait his 
     G
time to come

C                              G 
Then one day he said I think I 
           C
hear a choir singing

G                      D7        
He closed his eyes and went to 
        G
live with mom


C                                 
Lord I wanna thank you for the 
                            G
years they were here for me to love

    C                              
And though it's hard to let 'em go 
                           G
Lord I know I'd let 'em go again

   D7
If I could just have been there

And seen my mama's face when dad 
       G
walked in
