Mama’s Song

**[Verse 1]**

Dear Mama, this is for you

You make the morning all brand new

You fix my plate, the "right" way

And stay right here so we can play

You wash my shirts and find my shoes

You're the bestest Mama I could choose

**[Verse 2]**

I love the way you read my books

And let me take the longest looks

At the pictures and the colors too

I like to sit right next to you

My toys are messy on the floor

But you just open up the door

And smile at me and say "Hello"

You're the prettiest person that I know

**[Pre-Chorus]**

And then we do our **Sunshine Spins**

That’s when the biggest fun begins!

We go 'round and 'round until we fall

You’re my favorite person of them all

**[Chorus]**

Mama, you love me

Mama, you feed me

Mama, you hold me

I’m glad that you need me

Mama, you read to me

Mama, you peek at me

Mama, you love me

I love you, Mama!

**[Verse 3]**

Wait! I see a tiny thing...

A little black and curly string?

I pick it up and say with a stare:

**"What’s this black thing? Mama hair!"**

I find it here and I find it there

It’s like you’re with me everywhere

**[Bridge]**

When it’s my birthday, you make it bright

With balloons and cake and a pretty light

But even when it’s a regular day

You chase the scary shadows away

If I had big-kid words to say

I’d tell you "Thank you" for today

**[Final Chorus]**

Mama, you love me

Mama, you feed me

Mama, you hold me

I’m glad that you need me

Mama, you read to me

Mama, you peek at me

Mama, you love me

I love you, Mama!

**[Outro]**

* (Spoken in a tiny voice)*

"More Sunshine Spin, Mama?

* (Spoken in a whisper)*

Guess what? I love you.
