When Mama Cried 

( Written by Daron Norwood / Wayne Perry ) 

I was standing in the hall when they called the doctor in 

Almost scared me half to death 

When they said "It's a boy again" 

I walked in just in time to see them lay him by her side 

And when she looked into my newborn brother's eyes 

Mama cried 

When I was just a teenage boy a preacher man stopped by 

He asked me if I knew the Lord 

Said "If you don't, then tell me why" 

I gave my heart to God that day, and then I was baptized 

And when I stood up at church to testify 

Oh, Mama cried 

Chorus: 

When Mama cried 

You could feel the love she felt down deep inside 

Through the good times and the bad times of my life 

Oh you could see the love she had in her eyes 

When Mama cried 

T.H.S. graduation day in 1985 

Standing in the high school gym decorated blue and white 

And when they called my name out loud 

You'd thought someone had died 

'Cause when we sang the Alma Mater one last time 

Oh Mama cried 

Dressed up in our Sunday best, the family gathered 'round 

Me and brother standing there with our heads bowed down 

Flowers on the alter and a lady dressed in white 

And when the preacher said "Son you can kiss your bride" 

Sweet Mama cried 

Chorus: 

When Mama cried 

You could feel the love she felt down deep inside 

Through the good times and the bad times of my life 

Oh you could see the love she had in her eyes 

When Mama cried 

When Mama cried
