[Bm] [G] [F#] [Bm] My mother sang the sweetest melody [G] [A] [Bm] [F#] although she never sang in a musical key. [G] [A] I would hear her through the house. [G] [F#] My name called out loud. [Bm] [G] [F#] [Bm] My mother sang the sweetest melody. [G] [F#] [Bm] My mother's hands were always cool and soft. [G] [A] [Bm] [F#] And like her eyes, they would caress with every touch. [G] [A] She would listen to my chatter [G] [F#] as if every word I spoke mattered. [Bm] [G] [F#] [Bm] She'd hold me close and whisper in my ear. [A] [Bm] She'd say, "girl, you are a part of me [A] [Bm] and I have made you strong. [A] [Bm] when you grow up and are on your own [G] [F#] [Bm] remem- ber to win them with your song." [Bm] [G] [F#] [Bm] My father sang in perfect harmony. [G] [A] [Bm] [F#] And though he never sang in a musical key [G] [A] You could hear him when he'd enter the house [G] [F#] the kiss he'd give my Ma. [Bm] [G] [F#] [Bm] My father sang in perfect harmony. [G] [F#] [Bm] My father's words were always sure and clear [G] [A] [Bm] [F#] and like his presence they would rid me of my fears. [G] [A] And when I crawled up on his knees [G] [F#] I was safe as I could be. [Bm] [G] [F#] [Bm] He'd hold me tight and whisper in my ear. [A] [Bm] He'd say, "girl, you are a part of me [A] [Bm] and I have made you strong [A] [Bm] when you grow up and are on your own [G] [F#] [Bm] remem- ber to win them with your song." [Bm] [G] [F#] [Bm] My mother sang the sweetest melody, [G] [F#] [Bm] although she never sang in a musical key.
