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 smile, 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 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 stop rememberin'
The way she loved to hear her sing
Her favorite 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
