I've Just Told Mama Goodbye
Each year on mother's dayThe rose I wore was redBut today I'm saying my first prayerMama's lying on her dying bed.I've just told Mama goodbyeMother's day has turned to nightLike the flowers in may, she withered awayAnd my red rose is turning white.This is the dreaded hourWe all must face somedayYet there's consolation in my heartShe will bloom in the master's bouquet.Her time has come to goAnd there's nothing I can doOnly hold her hand and say goodbyeMama's day with her children is through.I've just told mama goodbyeAnd knelt beside her bedI heard her say, I'll meet you someday,Where the white roses turn to red.
