[VERSE]
It was kCinda hard believing
Mama StFewart couldn't see me then
Or Ceven that her age was ninety-fGour
'Cause the yeCars that took her sight away
Had gFiven her the right to say
What sD7he believed, and she did, praise the LGord
And the thCings she said reminded me
Of thFings I'd grown too blind to see
And fCeelings that I'd hidden deep insFide
And when she said goodbye and kissed me I was thCankful 
She couldn't see the sudden tGears I couldn't hCide
[CHORUS]
FEverything is beautiful in MCama Stewart's eyes
GAnother shining reason to beliCeve
FEverything is new and full of wConder and surprise
InsGide the world that Mama Stewart sCees
[VERSE] 
She rCode the covered wagons west
When sFhe was only seven
But she cCame to California on a plGane
She said at nCinety-four she thought for sure
She'd gFot too close to heaven
And lD7ike as not was going all the wGay
But the mCiracle of medicine
And gFood old time religion
RemCoved the veil of darkness from her eFyes
They say she praised the Lord and thanked the dCoctor
And didn't even sGeem at all surprCised
[CHORUS] 
FEverything is beautiful in MCama Stewart's eyes
GAnother shining reason to beliCeve
And Feverything is new and full of wConder and surprise
InsGide the world that Mama Stewart sCees
Lord, lGet me see what Mama Stewart sCees

[VERSE]

It was kinda hard believing

Mama Stewart couldn't see me then

C G

Or even that her age was ninety-four

'Cause the years that took her sight away

Had given her the right to say

D7 G

What she believed, and she did, praise the Lord

And the things she said reminded me

Of things I'd grown too blind to see

C F

And feelings that I'd hidden deep inside

And when she said goodbye and kissed me I was thankful

G C

She couldn't see the sudden tears I couldn't hide

[CHORUS]

F C

Everything is beautiful in Mama Stewart's eyes

G C

Another shining reason to believe

F C

Everything is new and full of wonder and surprise

G C

Inside the world that Mama Stewart sees

[VERSE]

She rode the covered wagons west

When she was only seven

C G

But she came to California on a plane

She said at ninety-four she thought for sure

She'd got too close to heaven

D7 G

And like as not was going all the way

But the miracle of medicine

And good old time religion

C F

Removed the veil of darkness from her eyes

They say she praised the Lord and thanked the doctor

G C

And didn't even seem at all surprised

[CHORUS]

F C

Everything is beautiful in Mama Stewart's eyes

G C

Another shining reason to believe

F C

And everything is new and full of wonder and surprise

G C

Inside the world that Mama Stewart sees

G C

Lord, let me see what Mama Stewart sees
