[Verse 1]
G
Growing up I always knew
    C
The day would come that I’d lose you
  Em               D
I didn’t think the day
              C
would come so fast
    G
The days flew by from October to June
    C
And none of us thot it be so soon
     Em                  D
That mamma flew home without
            C
her pain at last

[Chorus]
          G
I came to see you today
    C
The sun was shinin bright
          Em
I sat and talked awhile
  D
I laughed and I cried
           C
I shook my head and wondered why
        G
I wanna hear your voice
        C
Take me back when I was seven
             Em
When I could hug you tight
    D              C
And didn’t have to say
                      G
Happy Mother’s Day in heaven

[Verse 2]
     G
It’s been a few years and
I still don’t see
        C
Why the Lord needed you away from me
  Em                  D
I tell myself this is all
            C
part of His plan
   G
It lifts me up each day your gone
    C
But in my heart your memory lives on
    Em                   D
And I can’t wait for the day
          C
I see you again
    Em              D
One day I’ll fly ho-ome
           C
to be with you
   Em
On beautiful wings,
    D          G
the streets of gold
        C
And the gates will open
              D
And I’ll come thru

[Chorus]
          G
I came to see you today
     C           D
Your halo shined so bright
              Em
Let’s sit and talk awhile
       D
We can laugh and cry
          C
And I can finally know why
             G
I’ll sit and here your voice
            C
And you can hold me like I was seven
             Em
And mom I’ll hug you tight
    D              C
And finally get to say
                          G
Happy Mother’s Day     in heaven
C         G    C   G
    Mmm   hmm
