Wall Around Heaven

(album: Who's Gonna Play This Old Piano... (Think About It Darlin') - 1972)

(Momma can't see me down here)

Momma always knew when I'd break a promise
She could see it when she looked in my face
And before she went to heaven I promised her I'd change
But my life's become a shame and disgrace

I know that somewhere there's a heaven
And I know my precious mother is gonna be there
I hope there's a wall around heaven
So momma can't see me down here

I know if she could see me how sad her heart would be
'Cause I'm worse now than I've ever been before
But momma I'm gonna change and I'll live for the Lord
I'll meet you in heaven some sweet day

I know that somewhere there's a heaven
And I know my precious mother is gonna be there
I hope there's a wall around heaven
So momma can't see me down here
