Lyrics

Mama, are you listening?
Please put your tea towel down
This is the most important thing I've ever said
I love you as my mother
I love you as no other
But the pain we cause each other is killing me

Can we hereby agree
With love and dignity
From now on my life is fine
And you are free?
You know anytime you come to me with love
My arms will always, always, always be open

All the times I lay
My head upon your lap
Your hand upon my forehead brought such comfort
Such treasured memories
As arе so many still
But across this kitchen table words are hurting

Can wе hereby agree
With love and dignity
From now on my life is fine
And you are free?
You know anytime you come to me with love
My arms will always, always, always be open

Don't worry about my health or my weight
My body is just fine
Don't worry about what other people think of me
Just laugh about my ways
And be glad that I have faith
And for what time is left
Let's just enjoy each other's company

Let us hereby agree
With love and dignity
From now on my life is fine
And you are free

Don't cry, mama
This is not goodbye
Not at all
Try, mama
Be light, mama
Like with your friends, mama
Be light with me too

You know anytime you come to me with love (or not)
My arms will always, always, always
Always, always, always, always
My arms will always be open to you

Try, mama
Be light with me too
