I Dreamed About Mama Last Night - Curtis
I've just been to heaven with someone so true
I dreamed about mama last night
She read me the Bible like she used to do
I dreamed about mama last night
She never close her eyes
And sleep till we were all in bed
And on party nights till we came home
She often sat and read
We little thought about it then
For we were young and gay
Just how much mama worried
When we children were away
We only knew she never slept
When we were out at night
That she waited just to know
That we'd all come home alright
Why sometimes when we'd stay away
Till one or two or three
It seemed to us that mama heard
The turnin' of the key
For always when we'd step aside
She'd call and we'd reply
But we were all too young back then
To understand the reason why
Until the last one had returned
She'd always keep a 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
Well she seemed to fear
That the world might harm
The ones that she loved the best
And once she told me
When you're 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 and day
We knew a mother's care
That always when we got back home
We'd find her waitin' there
Then came the night
That we were called
Together round her bed
The children are all with
You now the kindly doctor said
And in her eyes the gleam again
That old time tender light
That told that she's just been waitin'
To know we were alright
She smiled that old familiar smile
And prayed to God to keep
Her children safe from
Harm throughout the years
And then she went to sleep
My dream is a treasure
That I'll always keep
I dreamed about mama last night
