As her only son, I honor my sweet wonderful Mama’s enthusiasm for living life to the fullest. She loved the ocean and sailing, she and Chuck traveled the world over, and left to me her love of music, singing and all animals.
“Mama, A Rainbow”
What do you give to the lady who has given all her life and love to you?
What do you give to the reason you are living?
I could window shop the world before I'm through.
Mama, a rainbow,
Mama, a sunrise,
Mama, the moon to wear.
That's not good enough not half good enough not for Mama.
Mama, a lifetime crowded with laughter,
that's not good enough not half good enough.
What can I give you that I can give you what will your present be?
Mama, young and beautiful, always young and beautiful,
That's the Mama I'll always see.
That's for Mama, with love from me.
