Story Behind The Song

I have two grown daughters who live far away. This song is about our communication by distance and how I am able to give them advise and encourage them as well as to be an example to them by how well I live my life, especially my older years

Song Description

This song is about distance relationships. A daughter calls her mother by phone to ask advise. Her mother remembers her own life at the age her daughter is and gives her encouragement. She teaches that the daughter has the power to love and create a happy future for her loved ones and for herself

Lyrics

HI MAMA

Hi Mama, dear Mama. I had to call
I wish we lived closer. I need to talk

Hi daughter, dear daughter. I?m glad you called
I wish we lived closer. What?s goin? on?

Mama this man that I married, he?d driven me mad
It?s no longer flowers or romantic nights
He?s always out worken, comes home grumpy and late
It?s not how I thought my life would turn out
Mama, I?m sad and I?m lonely.
What should I do?

Dear daughter, I remember when I was your age
You daddy always worken just like you said
But the years they have taught me
What I wish I had known
Life?s not always roses, as you now know
But, you?ve got a good man, He loves you so much
He works hard for his family, that means a lot
I understand your hurting inside
But, you have the power to bring love to your home
So, kiss him and hug him, love him a lot
The blessings come later. The best times are ahead.

Hi Mama, Dear Mama. I had to call
I wished we lived closer, I need to talk

Hi daughter, dear daughter, I?m glad you called
I wish we lived closer. What?s goin on?

Mama these kids that I love, drive me insane
The babies not sleeping. Suzie won?t train.
The twins always fighting, my life seems a mess
It?s not how I thought my life would turn out
Mama, I?m tired and discouraged. What should I do?
I remember when you kids were young
I thought I?d go crazy just like you said
But the years they have taught me what I wish I had known
Being a good mother is the best thing you?ll do
Raising good children will bring the most joy
It?s worth all the pain you have to endure
I understand your hurting inside
You have the power to bring love to your home
So, kiss them and hug the. Love them a lot
The blessings come later. The best times are ahead.

Hi daughter, dear daughter. I had to call
I wished we lived closer. I need to talk

Hi Mama, Dear mama. I?m glad you called
I wish we lived closer. What?s going on?

Dear daughter, I love you. I?m so proud of you.
In spite of life?s problems Your doing so well.
The years they have taught me what I wish I had known
The best times come later, I?m living them now
Your daddy has mellowed. You kids turned out great
I?m going to school. Living my dreams
And I understand when we?re hurting inside
We have the power to bring love to our home
So, kiss them and hug the. Love them a lot
The blessings come later. The best times are now
The blessings come later. The best times are now
