[Verse 1] You’d tee it up at 7 Fog still on the ground I’d swing and miss You’d laugh and say “Just keep your head down” Grass stains on your visor Sun on your face I never learned the way you did But I still love that place [Chorus] I miss my mama More than I can say In every crooked putt I hit In every bloom that fades I miss my mama In all the little things In a tiny bird’s bright heartbeat In a room where someone sings [Verse 2] You could make a desert Look like early June Pots of color on the porch Spilling by the afternoon I talk to all the seedlings Like you taught me to I don’t have your magic touch But I’m still trying to [Chorus] I miss my mama More than I can say In every flower that won’t open In petals that decay I miss my mama In all the quiet wings At the feeder by the window And the joy that humming brings [Bridge] You’d set one extra place No one ate alone Coffee Pie And laughter You turned a house to home Sunday dress and open hands Your circle gathered close Carols in December You were the gracious host (oh mama) [Verse 3] Then pain came like a thunder In every little bone Strongest woman that I knew Stuck inside her own You still asked how we were doing Smiled through every storm Held your faith like candlelight Tried to keep us warm [Chorus] I miss my mama More than I can say In every church hall story In every Christmas day I miss my mama In all the love she gave In the way our voices tremble When we say her name [Outro] A hummingbird at winter glass Hangs there in the air I whisper “Hi Remember me?” Like maybe you are there I miss my mama With every breath I breathe In fairways Flowers Family In the spaces in between
