Intro:
D7   G
I've Gjust been to heaven with Csomeone so Gtrue 
I D7dreamed about mama last Gnight
She Gread me the Bible like she Cused to Gdo 
I D7dreamed about mama last Gnight
[SPOKEN] - Just Repeat /    G    C  G/  /    D7  G/
She never close her eyes to 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 and 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 inside 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 we were safe before she went to rest 
for she seemed to fear the world might harm the ones she loved best
and once she said when you have grown into woman 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 to gather roun her bed
The children're all with you now the kindly doctor said
and in her eyes there gleamed again that old time tender light
that told she'd been waitin just 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 tand then she went to sleep
My Gdream is a treasure that CI'll always Gkeep 
I D7dreamed about mama last Gnight

[SPOKEN] - Just Repeat / / / /

She never close her eyes to 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 and 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 inside 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 we were safe before she went to rest

for she seemed to fear the world might harm the ones she loved best

and once she said when you have grown into woman 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 to gather roun her bed

The children're all with you now the kindly doctor said

and in her eyes there gleamed again that old time tender light

that told she'd been waitin just 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 tand then she went to sleep

My dream is a treasure that I'll always keep
