(God put a song in the heart of an angel and softly she sang it to me.)

I get to thinkin' lotta times
About when I was a lad
Of the old homeplace where I grew up
Of the days both good and bad .

My overalls were hand-me-downs
Shoes full of holes
I used to walk four miles to school every day
Through the rain, the sleet and the cold.

I've seen the nights when my daddy would cry
For the things that his family would need
But all he ever got was a badland farm
And seven hungry mouths to feed.

And yet and somehow
Our homefire never flickered once
'Cause when all the things went wrong
Mama took the hymn book down and mama sang a song.

(What a friend we have in Jesus.)

I've been rocked to sleep many a night
To the tune of What a Friend
Morning come Rock of Ages
It gently wake me once again.

Then daddy'd reach up and take the Bible down and he'd read it
Read it loud and strong
And I always felt that maybe our home was blessed
When daddy'd say mama sing a song.

Sister left home first I guess
Then Bob and Tommy and then Dan
By then dad's hair was turning grey
And I had to be mama's little man.

But it seemed that when dad grew weak
Mom's faith grew strong
And I think those were the greatest days of all
When mama sang a song.

(Rock of ages cleft for me let me hide myself in Thee.)

I guess the old house is still standin'
I don't go back much anymore
No voice is left to fill those halls
And no steps to grace the floor.

For you see mama sings in heaven now
Around God's golden throne
But I'll always believe that this old world is a whole lot better place
Because one time my mama sang a song.

(Precious mem'ries flood my soul...)


Mirror lyrics:

(Precious mem'ries flood my soul...)

Because one time my mama sang a song.
But I'll always believe that this old world is a whole lot better place
Around God's golden throne
For you see mama sings in heaven now

And no steps to grace the floor.
No voice is left to fill those halls
I don't go back much anymore
I guess the old house is still standin'

(Rock of ages cleft for me let me hide myself in Thee.)

When mama sang a song.
And I think those were the greatest days of all
Mom's faith grew strong
But it seemed that when dad grew weak

And I had to be mama's little man.
By then dad's hair was turning grey
Then Bob and Tommy and then Dan
Sister left home first I guess

When daddy'd say mama sing a song.
And I always felt that maybe our home was blessed
Read it loud and strong
Then daddy'd reach up and take the Bible down and he'd read it

It gently wake me once again.
Morning come Rock of Ages
To the tune of What a Friend
I've been rocked to sleep many a night

(What a friend we have in Jesus.)

Mama took the hymn book down and mama sang a song.
'Cause when all the things went wrong
Our homefire never flickered once
And yet and somehow

And seven hungry mouths to feed.
But all he ever got was a badland farm
For the things that his family would need
I've seen the nights when my daddy would cry

Through the rain, the sleet and the cold.
I used to walk four miles to school every day
Shoes full of holes
My overalls were hand-me-downs

Of the days both good and bad .
Of the old homeplace where I grew up
About when I was a lad
I get to thinkin' lotta times

(God put a song in the heart of an angel and softly she sang it to me.)

cuando todo cambia

aku cinta kau dan dia

the season for romance

tu felicidad

you've still got a place in my heart

barbie eat a sandwich

niemandsland

echoes

goodbyemylove

quand je vais chez elle

just you, just me

tuning my guitar

maple leafs

every sin (leaves a mark)

to be the one

je hoeft niet veel van me te houden

her eyes were watching god

the mission

my foggy notion

auld lang syne
