Dear Mother

Words and Music by Sandra Lambert ©2017 SOCAN

There’s a house across the water with a white picket fence

And it brings back sweet memories to me

I could see my mama there in her old rockin chair

Dear lord why’d you take her from me

You were one of a kind dear mother of mine

With a heart that’s made of pure gold

Why’d you have to go and leave I’ll never know

Now you’re an angel in heavens divine

There’s a place deep in my heart

Where I hold you close to me and sometimes my tears fall like rain

How I wish you were still here in that old rockin chair

To hold me in your arms one more time

Chorus
