Ferlin Husky - Mother Watch слова песни
Oh what a wonderful happy day up there on the golden strandWhen I can hear Jesus my Saviour say shake hands with mother againShe never closed her eyes at night till we were all in bedOn partly nights till we came home she often sat and readWe little thought about it then when we were young and gayHow much mama worried when we children were awayWe only knew she never slept when we were out at nightAnd that she waited just to know that we come home all rightWhy sometimes we stayed out till one two or threeAnd it seemed to us that mama heard the turning of the keyFor always when we stepped inside she`d call and we`d replyBut we were all too young back then to understand just whyUntil the last one had reuturned she always kept the lightFor mama couldn`t sleep until she kissed us all goodnightShe had to know that we were safe before she went to restShe seemed to fear the world might harm the ones she loved the bestAnd once she said when you have grown to women and to menPerhaps I`ll sleep the whole night through I may be different thenAnd so it seemed that night or day we knew a mother`s careThat always we got back home we`d find her waiting thereThen came the night when we were called together around her bedThe children all are with you now the kindly doctor saidAnd in her eyes there gleamed again the old time tender lightThat told that she had been waiting just to know we were all rightShe smiled the old familiar smile then prayed to God to keepA safe from harm throughout the years and then she went to sleepShake hands with mother again
