What A Memory Lyrics - Tracy Lawrence

On the day Mama died 

She called Daddy to her side 

And said, I'll be going soon 

I know it's gonna hurt you both 

But promise me before I go 

You'll do what I ask of you 

In a big red Forger's can 

Hid behind the pots and pans 

You'll find some money that I've saved 

And in the back of my dresser drawer 

I put away a little more 

For a rainy day 

Go to town and buy that new guitar 

'Cause he's been workin' awful hard 

To get his own to write his songs

What a memory 

Woah, what a memory 

And even in her final moments 

Mama thought of me 

What a memory 

She was only thirty-five 

I was fifteen, asking why 

The Lord took her away 

He must have known we needed her 

She was an angel, here, on earth 

I still miss her everyday 

With all her friends and half the town 

And her family gathered round 

I bet she never felt so loved 

And everybody's heads were bowed 

I did my best to make her proud 

As I stood up

As we said goodbye 

What a memory 

Woah, what a memory 

And even in her final moments 

Mama thought of me 

What a memory 

And even in her final moments 

Mama thought of me 

What a memory 

What a memory
