Momma, you look beautiful
No reason for you to fret
You've been alone for a time now
You've done nothing to regret
Your dress is very lovely
the color suits you well
I love the way your hair looks too
the mirror shows the truth I tell
I know that you feel a little guilt
Like you're stepping out on Dad
But you needn't feel that way Momma
I know he would be glad
To see you enjoying life again
Since he was called away
Momma don't you realize
That you were left to stay
To take care of me as I grow up
And to love me when I'm sad
To help me to be a woman as you are
Just know that I am glad
That someone very handsome
Has asked you out on a date
He is a very lucky man
And I'm sure he won't be late
Smile Momma, let your heart be light
And spray on some perfume
When he comes in through the door
He'll see you and he'll swoon
Momma, don't you worry
About anything at all
Just have some fun and laugh a bit
I think I hear him in the hall
He's here Momma, put on that smile
He's a gentleman I can see
Have a wonderful time tonight
Don't give a thought to me
I'll hear you when you come in
You can tell me how it was while dancing
And I hope that there is more to tell
He's so handsome, I can see by glancing
Goodnight Momma, and to you sir
Have a wonderful evening on the town
The door has closed behind them
Momma looks so happy, and Dad is smiling down.
