Mama didn't have special training
E
She couldn't read the music just the words
A D A
But when she'd stand to sing on Sunday morning
E A
She had the sweetest voice I think I've ever heard
A D A
She loved to sing the songs about her Saviour
E
"There Is A Fountain" was her favorite one
A D A
And I've seen tears roll down the cheeks of sinners
E A
By the time my mama's song was done
A D A
When mama sang the angels stopped to listen
E
You could see the love light shinin' in her face
A D A
When mama sang the angels stopped to listen
E A
Now in heaven's choir she has a special place
A D A
You know my daddy wanted me to sang somethin' the day that mama left us
E
And you know that little church was filled with all of mama's friends
A D A
And you know it seemed that we could all hear mama singin'
E A
When I couldn't finish up her favorite hymn
A D A
When mama sang the angels stopped to listen
E
You could see the love light shinin' in her face

When mama sang the angels stopped to listen
E A
Now in heaven's choir she has a special place

When mama sang the angels stopped.......to listen
