A..ve Maria..
She said My daughter
I beg of you
I have a wish
that must come true
The last thing
you can do
for Mama
Please promise me
that you will stay
And take my place
while I'm away
And give the children
love each day
I had to cry
what could I say...
How hard I tried
to find the words
I prayed she wouldn't
see me cry
So much to say
that should be heard
But only time
to say goodbye
to Mama...
They say in time
that you'll forget
Yet still today
my eyes are wet
I tell myself
to smile... for Mama..
Now soon there'll be
another spring
And I will start
remembering
The way she loved
to hear me sing
Her favourite song
Ave Maria
A..ve.. Maria...
The children have
all grown up now
I kept my promise
to Mama...
I cannot guide them
anymore
I've done my best..
all for Mama...
A..ve Maria...
But still it seems
so very small
For all...
she.. did.. for.. me.....
