Ferlin Husky - Mother Watch lyrics
Oh what a wonderful happy day up there on the golden strand When I can hear Jesus my Saviour say shake hands with mother again She never closed her eyes at night till we were all in bed On partly nights till we came home she often sat and read We little thought about it then when we were young and gay How much mama worried when we children were away We only knew she never slept when we were out at night And that she waited just to know that we come home all right Why sometimes we stayed out till one two or three And it seemed to us that mama heard the turning of the key For always when we stepped inside she'd call and we'd reply But we were all too young back then to understand just why Until the last one had reuturned she always kept the light For mama couldn't sleep until she kissed us all goodnight She had to know that we were safe before she went to rest She seemed to fear the world might harm the ones she loved the best And once she said when you have grown to women and to men Perhaps I'll sleep the whole night through I may be different then And so it seemed that night or day we knew a mother's care That always we got back home we'd find her waiting there Then came the night when we were called together around her bed The children all are with you now the kindly doctor said And in her eyes there gleamed again the old time tender light That told that she had been waiting just to know we were all right She smiled the old familiar smile then prayed to God to keep A safe from harm throughout the years and then she went to sleep Shake hands with mother again |
