[Intro 1]
[D][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]I've just been to heaven
with [C]someone so true
[G]I dre[D]amed about mama last nig[G]ht
She read me the bible like she [C]used to do
[G]I dre[D]amed about Mama last nig[G]ht
She never closed her eyes in sleep
till we were all in [C]bed
And on party night[G]s till we came home
she often [D]sat and read
We little thought about it then
[G]for we were young and gay
Just [C]how much [G]Mama worried
when we children were awake
We only [C]knew she never slept
and [G]when we were out at night
[D]That she waited just to know
that we'd all come home all [G]right
Why sometimes when we'd [C]stay away
till one or two or three
It seemed to [G]us that mama heard
the turning of the key
For [A]al ways when we'd step inside
she'd call and we'd reply
[D]But we were all too young back then
to under[G]stand the reason why
Until the last [C]one had returned,
she'd al[G]ways keep a light
But [D]Mama couldn't sleep
until she kissed us all [G]goodnight
She had to know that [D]we were safe
before [G]she went to rest
But she seemed to fear
[C]the world might harm
the one [G]she loved the best
And [D]once she said,
when you are grown to
women and to [G]men,
perhaps I'll sleep the
whole night through,
I may be different then.
And so it seemed that [C]night and day
we [G]knew a mother's care,
that al[D]ways when we got back home
we'd find her waiting [G]there.
Then came the night
that we were called [C]together
round her bed,
The children are all with you [G]now,
the time the doctor said
And in her [A]eyes there gleamed again
that old time tender light
[D]That told that she'd been waiting
just to know we were [G]all right
She smiled, [Em]that old famil[C]iar smile,
and prayed to God [G]to keep
Her chil[D]dren safe from harm
throughout the years
And then she [G]went to sleep
My dream is a treasure
that [C]I'll always [G]keep.
I [D]dreamed about Mama last [G]night.
