V1:
I stopped by the home to play guitar for her
Our family pictures on her wall,
She always smiled but I was never sure
If she remembered me at all

But I’d brought a song for her she used to sing to me
Now it was my turn ‘cause mom could barely speak

Chorus:
So there were no words Til I sang You are my sunshine
But then softly she sang My only sunshine
I sang You make me happy
And softly she sang When skies are grey
I’d sing a line then she would sing
As she flew back in time on angel’s wings
And just for a moment Mama was back
And there are no words for that

V2:
I almost said mom you remember don’t you
Cuz I could tell she did
She reached out and touched my face just like she used to
With a smile I’d known since I was just a kid

Chorus:
But there were no words ‘til I sang You are my sunshine
And then softly she sang My only sunshine
I sang You make me happy
She sang When skies are grey
I’d sing a line then she would sing
As she flew back in time on angel’s wings
And just for a moment Mama was back
And there are no words for that

Bridge:
I don’t know how Mama does it
But seems like every time
I try to ease her pain
She heals mine.

Chorus:
Like when I sang You are my sunshine
And softly she sang My only sunshine
I sang You’ll never know dear
And softly she sang How much I love you
And there in that moment Mama was back
And there are no words for that
