Verse
C
It was kinda hard believing
F
Mama Stewart couldn't see me then
C G
Or even that her age was ninety-four
C
'Cause the years that took her sight away
F
Had given her the right to say
D7 G
What she believed, and she did, praise the Lord
C
And the things she said reminded me
F
Of things I'd grown too blind to see
C F
And feelings that I'd hidden deep inside
C
And when she said goodbye and kissed me I was thankful
G C
She couldn't see the sudden tears I couldn't hide
[Refrão]F C
Everything is beautiful in Mama Stewart's eyes
G C
Another shining reason to believe
F C
Everything is new and full of wonder and surprise
G C
Inside the world that Mama Stewart sees
Verse
C
She rode the covered wagons west
F
When she was only seven
C G
But she came to California on a plane
C
She said at ninety-four she thought for sure
F
She'd got too close to heaven
D7 G
And like as not was going all the way
C
But the miracle of medicine
F
And good old time religion
C F
Removed the veil of darkness from her eyes
C
They say she praised the Lord and thanked the doctor
G C
And didn't even seem at all surprised
[Refrão]F C
Everything is beautiful in Mama Stewart's eyes
G C
Another shining reason to believe
F C
And everything is new and full of wonder and surprise
G C
Inside the world that Mama Stewart sees
G C
Lord, let me see what Mama Stewart sees
