[00:00.67]I Dreamed About Mama Last Night - Curtis
[00:08.25]I've just been to heaven with someone so true
[00:15.71]I dreamed about mama last night
[00:22.54]She read me the Bible like she used to do
[00:30.25]I dreamed about mama last night
[00:37.65]She never close her eyes
[00:39.26]And sleep till we were all in bed
[00:42.49]And on party nights till we came home
[00:44.44]She often sat and read
[00:47.85]We little thought about it then
[00:49.28]For we were young and gay
[00:52.00]Just how much mama worried
[00:53.47]When we children were away
[00:56.77]We only knew she never slept
[00:58.43]When we were out at night
[01:00.90]That she waited just to know
[01:02.95]That we'd all come home alright
[01:06.26]Why sometimes when we'd stay away
[01:08.38]Till one or two or three
[01:10.52]It seemed to us that mama heard
[01:12.30]The turnin' of the key
[01:15.08]For always when we'd step aside
[01:17.09]She'd call and we'd reply
[01:20.32]But we were all too young back then
[01:22.47]To understand the reason why
[01:25.97]Until the last one had returned
[01:27.32]She'd always keep a light
[01:30.54]For mama couldn't sleep until
[01:32.00]She kissed us all goodnight
[01:35.43]She had to know that we were safe
[01:37.66]Before she went to rest
[01:39.89]Well she seemed to fear
[01:41.04]That the world might harm
[01:42.46]The ones that she loved the best
[01:45.90]And once she told me
[01:47.11]When you're grown
[01:47.72]To women and to men
[01:49.89]Perhaps I'll sleep the whole night through
[01:52.91]I may be different then
[01:55.55]And so it seemed that night and day
[01:57.32]We knew a mother's care
[01:59.61]That always when we got back home
[02:01.64]We'd find her waitin' there
[02:04.28]Then came the night
[02:05.59]That we were called
[02:06.48]Together round her bed
[02:08.51]The children are all with
[02:09.65]You now the kindly doctor said
[02:12.18]And in her eyes the gleam again
[02:14.44]That old time tender light
[02:16.54]That told that she's just been waitin'
[02:18.43]To know we were alright
[02:21.43]She smiled that old familiar smile
[02:24.11]And prayed to God to keep
[02:26.16]Her children safe from
[02:26.99]Harm throughout the years
[02:28.48]And then she went to sleep
[02:33.14]My dream is a treasure
[02:36.96]That I'll always keep
[02:40.64]I dreamed about mama last night
