• HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY! CHARLES AZNAVOUR SINGS “LA MAMA”
  

  ---

  
  This is the original version, but Ray Charles also did one in english

  She said “My son, I beg of you
  I have a wish that must come true
  the last thing you can do
  for your momma”

  “Please promise you will stay
  and take my place while I’m away
  And give the children love each day”
  I had to cry, what could I say

  How hard I tried to find a word
  I prayed you would not see me cry
  So much to say that should be heard
  But only time to say goodbye
  To momma

  They say in time, you will forget
  yet still today my eyes are wet
  I tell myself to smile
  for my momma

  Now soon there’ll be another spring
  and I will start remembering
  the way she loved to her us sing
  her favorite song, Ave Maria
  Ave Maria

  Yes the children have all grown up now
  but I kept my promise to momma
  and I cannot guide them any more
  Lord knows I’ve done my best for my momma

  The family’s gone I feel so numb
  I should have known this day would come
  but still I try to smile
  for my momma

  You know it hurts so much to see them go
  They have their lives to lead you know
  Now I will watch their children grow
  and hear again, Ave Maria
  Ave Maria

  Then I will feel the deepest joy
  Yes, I’ll kiss them all for momma
  and I’ll feel so proud
  that I made the wish come true
  for momma

  Still this seems so small
  for all
  she did for me
