Lyrics

Softly, mama puts her head upon my pillow

So softly, whispering some words I just can’t recall

Softly, I reach out so mama will know

That she’s safe, she’s alright with me

Memories come and go like birds upon a treetop

Memories of the one who meant the world to me

Missing her has become a precious kind of feeling

Always felt so right, holding you tight

Mama

Oh-oh-oh-oh, time if you’re a friend of mine

Could you help me, would you be so kind

To colour all those memories

So I can live in harmony

So softly, mama puts her hands upon my shoulders

Saying it’s alright, saying hold tight (poloh)

To me

Saying it’s alright, saying just hold tight

To me

Saying it’s alright, hold tight

To mama
