Mama used to send us early to bed on Christmas Eve
|
She became Santa's helper and they took care of me
|
We would wake up early from our beds only to see
|
The love she had for all of us was left beneath the tree
|
|
One day I know we'll be together
|
When the Lord brings me to you
|
Then I know, I will be in Heaven
|
When my eyes can rest on you
|
|
But until then I will remember
|
All the good times that we've shared
|
I'll hang a star upon this tree for you
|
On Christmas Day I know you'll be there too
|
|
Now that I am all grown up with children of my own
|
I see the happiness in their eyes, somehow I wish I'd known
|
But not a Christmas Day goes by, that I will not see
|
The gift you gave to all of us was the love you gave to me
|
|
One day I know we'll be together
|
When the Lord brings me to you
|
Then I know I will be in Heaven
|
When my eyes can rest on you
|
|
But until then I will remember
|
All the good times that we shared
|
I'll hang a star upon this tree for you
|
Mama, on Christmas Day I know you'll be there too
|
|
One day I know we'll be together
|
Then I know I will be in Heaven
|
I won't have to remember
|
'Cause I'm standing there with you
|
Of a time that you and I always knew
|
Mama, on Christmas Day I'll finally be with you
|
|
Joy to the world, the Lord has come
|
