Last Song For Mother
Nanci Griffith

(Nanci Griffith)


If I promise not to cry

Will you look me in the eye

And tell me that you've known me?

I was your late, your lonely child

I am enhanced by all you've shown me


And in my youth I did defy you to the end

Please forgive my wildness then

Even I can't comprehend

What a mother's love has lent

To all that is me


And will you sing this song again?

Let us sing it hand in hand

While the band is till playing

Before the light can loose your hand

Before I lose my voice again

Let us sing while it's playing


And if I promise not to cry

Please look me in the eye

And say you've truly known me

'Tis the sweet sound of goodbye

Amazing grace how sweet the sound


Between your soul and mine

If I promise not to cry

If I promise not to cry
