I wrote this song for my mum, she's was such an inspiration to me and so many others! She was my biggest fan and the reason why I sing! "Let the world hear ya darlin'" was like a mantra she would say to me growing up! I finally get it now! Thanks Mum I love ya to bits!
lyrics
I wanna see you on the floor
dancin’ ponies through my door
wanna see that great big smile
kept us coming back for more
So if you hear me calling
if the message just gets through
Mama, mama i wanna thank you
Those little things you used to say
you loved me every single day
You taught each one of us to fly
those memories we made
I hope you can hear me singing
i’m singing now because of you
mama mama I wanna thank you x 2
You taught me all the little things
I needed to know
you gave me everything you could
and then let me go
Ya saw the star up in the sky that belonged to me
Then you lifted me up and told me how it should be
Mama Mama I wanna thank you
hey hey hey
Mama Mana, I wanna thank you
Break it down
I wish that I could shimmy like my sister kate
she shimmies like a jelly on a plate
and all the boys in the neighborhood
they know she does it and she does it good
my mama wanted to know last night
why the boys treated katie oh so right
well I know that it’s late but I’ll be up to date
when I can shimmy like my sister kate
Tell me you're comin’ back real soon
you know you were so smooth
Always dancin' down the aisle
Always had the greatest groove
I hope you can hear us (calling) singing
you know how much we all loved you
mama mama wanna thank you x 2
