Mom met Dad when she was 12 years old
Who knew then there would be a story told
He raised his birds on the roof above
Those Brooklyn kids they fell in love
It’s yesterday when Mom talks out loud
60 years still a bride so proud
We lost Dad a couple years ago
He came to Christ just in time to go
Chorus
I wish that I could ease my Mama’s pain
He was the only man she knew
I tell her and she believes it too
He’s safe in the arms of Jesus
Dad worked late cause cash was tight
I hear him quietly come in at night
I’d make believe that I was a sleep
Then I’d feel him kiss me on the cheek
He filled the room such a gentle man
With principals I now understand
He used to watch those old western flicks
The good guy was the way he lived
Chorus
O’h I wish I can ease my own pain
I loved him more than he knew
My Mom tells me and I know it too
He’s safe in the arms of Jesus
