Lyrics

Mama, tell me
Do you still remember
All the things you had to do
When I was just a child
Daddy's love died
I never saw you cryin'
You knew that it was up to you
To see we both got by

So many rocky times
It;s hard to count them all
But it's the little things you did
That I recall

FINGERPRINTS
YOU TRIED SO HARD TO WIPE AWAY
COOKIE CRUMBS AND MUDDY THUMBS
FROM A HARD DAY'S WORK AT PLAY
MAMA, YOU RAISED A CHILD ALONE
TELL ME NOW CAN YOU SEE?
THE FINGERPRINTS OF LOVE YOU LEFT IN ME

Mama, show me
The dress that grandma gave you
That you wore on your wedding day
And I stained at the prom
I know deep inside
You really do forgive me
For all the thoughtless things I've said
And childish things I've done

You worked your fingers and your troubles to the bone
Even raising one small child is hard to do alone

repeat CHORUS
