Oh Mammy Oh Mammy Mammy Blue Oh Mammy Blue Oh Mammy Oh Mammy Mammy Blue Oh Mammy Blue, c'mon Oh Mammy Oh Mammy Mammy Blue Oh Mammy Blue Oh Mammy Oh Mammy Mammy Blue Oh Mammy Blue Well I may be your forgotten son Who wandered off at 21 Well it's sad to find myself at home And you, you're not around, around, around, around If I could only hold your hand And say I'm sorry, yes I am Well I'm sure you'd really understand Oh Mum, where are you now? Oh Mammy Oh Mammy Mammy Blue Oh Mammy Blue Oh Mammy Oh Mammy Mammy Blue Oh Mammy Blue Oh Mammy Mammy Oh Mammy Oh Mammy Mammy Blue Oh Mammy Blue Oh Mammy Oh Mammy Mammy Blue Oh Mammy Blue Well the home we shared as kids It seemed so lifeless but it's standing still And the memories of my childhood days They fill my mind I've been through all the walks of life I've seen tired days and lonely nights And now without you by my side I'm lost How will I survive? Oh Mammy Oh Mammy Mammy Blue Oh Mammy Blue Oh Mammy Oh Mammy Mammy Blue Oh Mammy Blue Oh Mammy Oh Mammy Mammy Blue Oh Mammy Blue Oh Mammy Oh Mammy Mammy Blue Oh Mammy Blue

The sun has set and golden clouds Gleaming in the evening sky I must confess, I? d always hoped Today would pass me by Oh dad, I really hate to see The sadness in your eyes We always knew this day would come It can? t be a surprise We had a special day together You were always my best friend But the princess and the old king Knew this day would end A perfect day, a perfect day with you Just a perfect day of perfect hours, no other word would do A perfect day, a day for you and I Now the evening shadows chill my heart and I can? t say goodbye It was always I who said, "I? ll see you soon" When you were young So many things we left unsaid So many songs unsung Dad, don? t worry now I? m grown It? ll be okay You taught me well, so trust me now And I? ll be on my way We had a special day together You were always my best friend But the princess and the old king Knew this day would end A perfect day, a perfect day with you Just a perfect day of perfect hours, no other word would do A perfect day, a day for you and I Now the evening shadows chill my heart and I can? t say goodbye A perfect day, a day for you and I Now the evening shadows chill my heart and I can? t say I? m leaving home, goodbye

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone, I can see all obstacles in my way Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) Sun-Shiny day. I think I can make it now, the pain is gone All of the bad feelings have disappeared Here is the rainbow I've been prayin? for It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) Sun-Shiny day. Look all around, there's nothin? but blue skies Look straight ahead, nothin? but blue skies I can see clearly now, the rain is gone, I can see all obstacles in my way Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) Sun-Shiny day.
