Many times in Tennessee
Before Alzheimer\'s crept in,
Most wonderful times for me
Was to listen to Mama sing.
To hear her say my name,
To tenderly hold her hands,
To smother her with kisses,
And lay my head against hers.
Then she stopped singing
And stopped saying my name.
And I prayed to God & begged,
Please let me hear her sing again,
Please let me hear her say my name.
Once again please, once again
Before you take her home,
Please Lord, once again.
Let me hear her sing,
Let me hear her say my name.
And you didn’t disappoint me
I was granted to hear her sing,
To hear her say my name again
Thank you, Lord, once again
I heard her sing again,
I heard her say my name.
