In my childhood memories,Momma would always come to me
and say "it's beddy time of the night."
She kiss my cheek so sweet and hum a tune and tuck the sheet
and always said as she turned out the light.
"I'll see you in the morning, I love you.
Say your prayers and close your peepers tight."
"I'll see you in the morning, I love you."
That's how my mom always said good night.
I get home much as I can
Feel the touch of Momma's hand.
She tells me I'm living much too fast.
Lieing here in my old bed
Precious memories flood my head.
And Mom peeks in and says these words at last.
"I'll see you in the morning, I love you.
Say your prayers and close your peepers tight".
"I'll see you in the morning, I love you."
That's how Mom always said good night.
Oh so many years have passed
And a fortune I have massed.
I'd trade it all for what I'm losing now.
We've just said our goodbyes
and before she closed her eyes.
I know what she said is true some how.
"I'll see you in the morning, I love you.
Say your prayers and close your peepers tight.
I'll see you in the morning, I love you"
That's how Mom always said good night.
That's how Mom always said good night.
