Lifting me up on hei' shoulde-rs
So I could see the pa-rade
She didn't see the band ma-rch o-r the colo-rful clowns that day ... .... Mama went without
Canceling he-r desse-rt at that fancy i'estau-rant
'Cause I wanted a milkshake
She didn't think twice about he-r wants ... .... Mama went without
Buying me new shoes fo-r ~astel' Day
Along with a jacket, tie and slacks She wol'e a dl'ess from last yea!'- inspite of the patch
....... Mama went without
Leaving wo-rk eal'ly to see me in my fil'st school play
~ven though she needed the ovei'time She still watched pi'oudly as I just c-ried on stage
....... Mama went without
So many things she did All especially fol' me M .ama went without
....... and I thank you endlessly.
