Mama's Face
Cal Smith

My mama loved my dad for fifty years

And she worked along beside him in the fields

He never gave her much but he gave her all he had

Dad's the only reason my mama lived


My mama's face would light up like a diamond

Each time my daddy walked into the room

She'd stop what she was doing

And put her arms around him

Dad's the only world my mama knew


Mama never saw her roses bloom that year

The angels came before the Robin's song

Mama said she didn't mind going on ahead

But heaven won't be heaven till dad is home


When mama left she left dad a lonely man

But he talked to mama like she was still here


He'd talk about the hard times

And the good times that they'd had

As his old mind slipped back across the years


Daddy never ploughed his fields again

He just sat down to wait his time to come

Then one day he said, I think I hear a choir singing

And he closed his eyes and went to live with mom


Lord, I wanna thank You for the years

That they were here for me to love

And though it's hard to let 'em go

Lord, You know I'd let 'em go again

If I could just have been there

And seen my mama's face when my dad walked in
