Mamas Love Their Children

Mamas love their children like God loves each of us
They love them and protect them with every ounce of their strength and love
They give them hugs and kisses morning, noon, and night
When mamas love their children everything in the world is right

Chorus:
     Mama, thanks for giving me all your love
     Thank you for showing me      God’s love from above
     Thank you for loving me no matter what I do
     Mama I’ve got to tell you I love you so much too

Mamas love their children no matter what they do
Even when kids behave badly a mama’s love is true
They say a prayer for protection every time kids say “Goodbye”
And they don’t breathe or sleep until they come again and tell her “Hi”

Chorus

Mamas love their children and ‘though daddies love them too
Kids seem to love their mamas more than dads about times two
And ‘though dads love their children like God loves each of us
Kids still run to their mamas when they need kisses and hugs

Chorus

Just a Kiss on the Cheek

It was just a look that you gave me from across the room
I just knew that I had to meet you real soon
We were just kids in a classroom but I knew right then
You’d be my woman and I’d be your man

It was just a word that you said I think it was “Hi”
You were saying it as I walked on by
I fell over my own feet I didn’t know what to say
I couldn’t believe that you said “Hi,” that day

It was just a touch on the hand as we walked side by side
But I knew right then that you’d be my bride
Your touch was electric my heart skipped a beat
I didn’t know it was love but I knew you were sweet

It was just a kiss on the cheek to end our first date
Dinner and a movie that I thought were great
It’s been twenty years now we still walk hand in hand
I’m so glad you decided that I’d be your man

Bridge:
     It was just the look that you gave me that said “How do you do?”
     The words, “Hello darlin’” to say “I’d like to meet you”
     A touch on the hand let me know that you liked me too
     It was just a kiss on the cheek that said, “I love you”

You told me one day that you knew it was me
That first day I saw you in Geometry
Our courtship was slow to make sure it was right
You sealed it with a kiss when you kissed me good night

I’ve thought lots about it since you told me your plan
It almost seems like I was just clay in your hand
But I’ve watched our three daughters do it to three young men
All I can do is shake my head again and again

Mama Use to Sing a Silly Song

Mama used to sing this silly ole song
Sounded like Bo Jangles with the words all wrong
She sang about her children one of which was me
I really gotta tell you it was embarrassing

Chorus:
     Mama used to sing that song all day long
     She never sang the same words but still sang them strong
     The more that I would blush the louder she’d sing
     I really gotta tell you it was embarrassing
     Every time she’d sing it was embarrassing

Whenever my friends would come over she’d sing that song
And eventually they learned the words and sang along
My brothers didn’t blush they’d just join in and sing
I really gotta tell you it was embarrassing

Chorus

Well mama hit the big time with that silly ole song
She sings it on the stage; she sings it loud and strong
Even though all the people love to hear her sing
I really gotta tell you it’s still embarrassing

     Now mama sings that song to folks all night long
     She still never sings the same words but she sings them strong
     The more that I still blush the louder she sings
     I really gotta tell you it is embarrassing
     Yes, I really gotta tell you it’s still embarassing

     But Mama sing your song
     Just sing it strong
     Mama sing your song
     Sing it all night long
     No matter what you do I still hate that thing
     I really gotta tell you it’s so embarrassing
     No matter what you do it’s still embarrassing
