Lyrics

Vs. 1:
Little golden-locks, that?s what we called her;
Only two years old when her momma died that year.
Living with grandma and grandpa now, she?s growing up so fast
And though she makes us laugh, we still have to hide the tears (and)

Refrain:
Momma would be proud?
Momma would jump for joy and clap her hands
She?d cheer you on like your biggest fan, just like she used to do.
Momma would be proud? She?d say you?re such a big girl now
And if she?s watching you right now, I know?
Momma would be proud.

Vs. 2:
Do you remember your mother?s smile,
How she filled your home with love?
Too young to understand why she?s gone away.
To keep her memory alive, or to let it fade, either way is tough;
But you?ll have so much to tell her when you see her on that day (and)

Refrain:
Momma would be proud?
Momma would jump for joy and clap her hands
She?d cheer you on like your biggest fan, just like she used to do.
Momma would be proud? She?d say you?re such a big girl now
And if she?s watching you right now, I know?
Momma would be proud.

Vs. 3:
I know the years will fly like the wind
Through graduations and wedding gowns
And there?ll always be those moments when it?s hard to face the
day.
And in times like that, the pain is fresh, and how we wish she was
around
So we fall down on our knees and cry like only broken hearts can
pray.

Bridge:
Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction, and life can hurt so much.
And though death may separate us, it cannot bury love! (mod. up)

New Ref:
And momma will be proud?
Momma will dance for joy and clap her hands
She?ll run to meet you in that promised land,
Where she?s been waiting for you
Momma will be proud? She?ll say you?re such a big girl now
?Cause she?s been watching you somehow, I know?
Momma will be proud.

Little golden-locks, that?s what we called her??
