Connie Francis For Mama Lyrics

For Mama Lyrics

Ave Maria

She said: "My daughter, I beg of you
I have a with 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 wouldn't see my cry
So much to say that
should be heard
But only time to say goodbye to Mama

They say in time
that you'll 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 me sing
Her favorite song,
"Ave Maria"

Ave Maria

The children have all grown up
now
I kept my promise to Mama
I cannot guide them anymore
I've done my
best all for Mama

Ave Maria

But still it seems so very
small
For all she did for me
