Lyrics:

Darling, I send you this letter
Hoping my words can convey
All that I'm trying to tell you
All that my heart wants to say
Nearest and dearest, my darling one
Truest and best friend of all

Mama, I want to tell you that I'll always love you
Mama, now I'm away I keep on thinking of you
I think of the days when I was just a kid
We were so happy together
Who cared for me with such tenderness
No one, my darling, but you
Mama, oh how I miss you now that we are apart
Mama, so wonderful, you'll always find a place in my heart

Mama, until the day that we're together once more
Mama, so wonderful, you'll always find a place in my heart

Mama, my own.
