Pete Papageorge - Don't Wipe Away Mama's Kisses Lyrics
Verse #1I remember when I was a little boyAnd after the weather turned coolHow mama helped dress us, then made us breakfastKissed us and sent us to schoolOne day I reached with my mittensTo wipe all her kisses awayShe happened to notice, then gently told usSomething I remembered today, she saidChorus:Don’t wipe away mama’s kissesJust let them stay on your faceCause there's so much love in mama's kissesNot even time can eraseVerse #2She told us a mother's love is specialAnd nothing could ever make that changeThough we might neglect her and even reject herHer love would still be the sameAnd someday when we got olderThen we'd be able to seeFor when we were grown and had kids of our ownWe'd know the reason she said to me(Repeat chorus)Verse #3Well, now the chapel is quietThe rest of the family's gone homeI thought I would stay here and find a way hereTo gather my thoughts all aloneI wish I'd told her I loved herA million more times than I didBut I'll always remember that her love was tenderAnd what she told me when I was a kid(Repeat chorus)
