Mama, I Miss You Tonight Claudia Schmidt and Sally Rogers
The sun is sinking, the moon is rising, the fire is warm in the stove
I find myself thinking,
And that's not surprising, for one who's so often alone
Well I'm not one to brood,
There's plenty to do with the things that fill up a night
They can't fill the space that's aching
Just for you. And Mama, I miss you tonight
I'm missing the laughter,
I'm missing the fights and I'm missing the times in between
Wasn't it one of your daughters
Delights to carefully learn not to lean
You raised a strong one,
Just ask any man and I have no doubt you did right
I'm not sure this longing was part
Of the plan and Mama I miss you tonight
Questions only you can answer dancing through my mind
Visions of our time together,
Bright enough to blind, how they find me and remind me
Instrumental: C G F C C G Am Em F Bb Dm E F C G F
Questions only you can answer dancing through my mind
Visions of our time together,
Bright enough to blind, how they find me and remind me
The lamps need lighting,
The day needs dying, at least we can share the same moon
The fire needs some wood,
My eyes need some crying and I will get to it all very soon
But this room might be full of laughter and
Wine and friends with their eyes shining bright
I'd give it all for your smile 'cross the
Table from mine and Mama I miss you tonight (twice)
I miss you tonight
