I REMEMBER CHRISTMAS MORNING, WHEN I WAS JUST A CHILD
A PRETTY DRESS IN A PRETTY BOX, A DOLLY WITH A WINK AND A SMILE
MEMORIES THAT COMFORT ME ACROSS THE YEARS AND MILES
NOW I’M COMING HOME FOR CHRISTMAS, JUST TO SEE MY MOMMA SMILE

I WANT TO SIT ON THE EDGE OF MOMMAS BED, TELL HER MY HOPES AND DREAMS
I NEED TO HEAR HER TELL ME THAT I CAN DO ANYTHING
ITS BEEN SO LONG I CANT RECALL, YOUR WORDS, YOUR EYES, YOUR LAUGH AT ALL
MOMMA I SURE MISS YOUR COMPANY

SHE READ ME BEDTIME STORIES, OF CABBAGES AND KINGS
OF ALICE, POO, AND KANGAROO AND OTHER CHILDHOOD THINGS
AND IN HER MAGIC MOMMA WAY SHE TAUGHT ME EVERYTHING
SHE ALWAYS HAD THE ANSWER FOR A LITTLE GIRLS’ WONDERINGS

IT’S BEEN THESE 30 YEARS NOW, SINCE I CAME IN THIS WORLD
CHILDHOOD DREAMS TURNED INTO THINGS THAT PLEASURE A YOUNG GIRL
GUESS I’M ALL GROWN UP NOW THE TROUBLES HAVE BEEN FEW
AND ITS TAKEN ME ALL THIS TIME TO FIND MY WAY TO YOU.

I WANT TO SIT ON THE EDGE OF MOMMAS BED, TELL HER MY HOPES AND DREAMS
I NEED TO HEAR HER TELL ME THAT I CAN DO ANYTHING
IT’S BEEN SO LONG I CAN’T RECALL, YOUR WORDS, YOUR EYES, YOUR LAUGH AT ALL
MOMMA I SURE MISS YOUR COMPANY
MOMMA I SURE MISS YOUR COMPANY.
