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 cry, 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
For Mama, for 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 start remembering
The way she loved to hear her 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
The family's left, I felt so numb
I should have known this day will come
But still I try to smile for Mama
It hurts so much to see them go
They have their lives to live, I know
How I will watch their children grow
And hear again Ave Maria
Ave Maria
Then I will feel the deepest joy
I'll kiss them all, all for Mama
And I will feel so proud that I
Made a wish come true for Mama
Still this seems so small for all she did for me
