G                              F                 C
Mama used to send us early to bed on Christmas Eve
G                              F                 C
She became Santa's helper and they took care of me
G                              F                 C
We would wake up early from our beds only to see
F                                                     G
The love she had for all of us was left beneath the tree

[Chorus]
            F             G
One day I know we'll be together
           C
When the Lord brings me to you
            F              G
Then I know, I will be in Heaven
           C
When my eyes can rest on you
            F            G
But until then I will remember
           Am        G         F
All the good times that we've shared
                                     G
I'll hang a star upon this tree for you
         F           G                  C
On Christmas Day I know you'll be there too

[Verse]
G                              F                 C
Now that I am all grown up with children of my own
G                                   F                 C
I see the happiness in their eyes, somehow I wish I'd known
G                                F                 C
But not a Christmas Day goes by, that I will not see
F                                                        G
The gift you gave to all of us was the love you gave to me

[Chorus]
            F             G
One day I know we'll be together
           C
When the Lord brings me to you
            F             G
Then I know I will be in Heaven
            C
When my eyes can rest on you
            F             G
But until then I will remember
          Am       G         F
All the good times that we shared
                                     G
I'll hang a star upon this tree for you
             F             G                   C
Mama, on Christmas Day I know you'll be there too


            F             G          C
One day I know we'll be together
            F             G         C  F  C
Then I know I will be in Heaven
            F             G
I won't have to remember
          Am       G         F
'Cause I'm standing there with you
                              G
Of a time that you and I always knew
                 F             G              C
Mama, on Christmas Day I'll finally be with you
