C
Each year on mother’s day
F
C
The rose I wore was red
F
C
But today I’m saying my first prayer
G7
C
Mama’s lying on her dying bed
G7
C
I’ve just told mama goodbye
F
C
Mother’s day has turned to night
F
C
Like the flowers in May she withered away
G7
C
And my red rose is turning white
G7
C
This is the dreaded hour
F
C
We all must face someday
F
C
Yet there’s consolation in my heart
G7
C
She will bloom in the master’s bouquet
G7
C
Her time has come to go
F
C
And there’s nothing I can do
F
C
Only hold her hand and say goodbye
G7
C
Mama’s day with her children is through
G7
C
I’ve just told mama goodbye
F
C
And knelt beside her bed
F
C
I heard her say I’ll meet you someday
G7
C
Where the white roses turn to red
C
G7
F
