Lyrics:
She said my son I beg of youI have a wish that must come trueThe last thing you can doFor mamaPlease promise me that you will stayAnd take my place while I'm awayAnd give the children love each dayI had to cry what could I say?How hard I tried to find the wordsI prayed she would not see me crySo much to say that should be heardBut only time to say goodbye to mamaThey say in time that you will forgetYet still today my eyes are wetI tell myself to smile for MamaNow soon there'll be another springAnd I will start rememberingThe way she loved to hear us singHer favourite song 'Ave Maria'Ave MariaThe children all have grown up nowI kept my promise to mamaI cannot guide them anymoreI've done my best all for mamaAve MariaStill this seems so very smallFor allShe did for me
