I've just been to heaven with someone so trueI dreamed about mama last nightShe read me the Bible like she used to doI dreamed about mama last nightShe never closed her eyes in sleep 'til we were all in bedAnd on party nights 'til we came home she often sat and readWe little thought about it then for we were young and gayJust how much mama worried when we children were awayWe only knew she never slept when we were out at nightThat she waited just to know that we'd all come home alrightWhy sometimes when we'd stay away 'til one or two or threeIt seemed to us that mama heard the turning of the keyFor always when we'd step inside, she'd call and we'd replyBut we were all too young back then to understand the reason whyUntil the last one had returned, she'd always keep a lightFor mama couldn't sleep until she kissed us all goodnightShe had to know that we were safe before she went to restWell, she seemed to fear that the world might harmThe ones that she loved the bestAnd once she said, "When you're grown to women and to menPerhaps 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 careThat always when we got back home we'd find her waiting thereThen came the night that we were called together 'round her bed"The children are all with you now," that kindly doctor saidAnd in her eyes the gleam again that old time tender lightThat told that she's just been waiting to know we were all alrightShe smiled that old familiar smile and prayed to God to keepHer children safe from harm throughout the yearsAnd then she went to sleepMy dream is a treasure that I'll always keepI dreamed about mama last night
