Lyrics
{Verse 1}
Momma's resting now. I stare blankly at the flowers where she's sleeping;
Safe in God's keeping. I kneel beside her resting place and pray.
How I miss her on this cold, cold Christmas Day.
Her gifts remain unopened 'round the Tree.
Christmas gifts that she will never see.
{Chorus}
Momma's resting now. Oh, she's just resting now.
I thought I heard an angel sing, but maybe that was just the wind around me.
What could that sound be?
Sunlight flickers through the trees. A whisper carries on the breeze now that she's resting.
Oh, Momma's resting now.
{Verse 2}
Momma's resting now. It's time to leave, but I'll be back tomorrow.
I feel such sorrow. We never had the chance to say goodbye.
I'm told my hurt will heal as time goes by.
Fond memories begin to fill my mind.
Thoughts of her I'll never leave behind.
{Chorus}
Momma's resting now. Oh, she's just resting now.
I thought I heard an angel sing, but maybe that was just the wind around me.
What could that sound be?
Sunlight flickers through the trees. A whisper carries on the breeze now that she's resting.
Oh, Momma's resting now.
{Tag}
Oh, Momma's resting now.
