Mama knew I had eyes for you
Guess it was plain to see
Young love in my quiet eyes
Though I didn’t know why she smiled at me
In a father/son, father/daughter golf game
We played golf one day
You and your dad
My sister, my dad and I you played
With me being so shy
My heart I cloaked in disguise
Our mothers watching
No hiding the truth from their eyes
Mama knew you had my heart
She sensed your presence in me
“That Sharon is a really nice girl”, She said,
“So proud you must be”
Somehow, she must have known
You were my secret love
Had she heard my prayers,
My calling on stars above?
For only you Sharon
Could reach so deep into my heart
So deep to touch my heart’s core
And leave there your uniquely beautiful art
I\'d thought it was my secret
And mine alone
For I was unaware
How my love for you has shown
I wonder if your mother
Was aware of my love for you
Looking back now I know
My mama knew
