Mama, may I...

 

 

Mama,

 may I hold your hand

 when we cross the street?

 I just love the way you look

 you always smell so sweet

 

Mama,

 may I sign you up

 for show and tell?

 Everyone will then see

 and know why I'm always so well

 

Mama,

 may I lay my head

 on your lap as you read to me?

 The sound of your voice is

 oh so heavenly

 

Mama,

 may I ask why you worked

  so much?

 I'm so glad that you

 still have that soft touch

 

Mama,

 may I ask, as a child,

 did you have what I do now?

 If you didn't,

  I don't see how

 

Mama,

 may I tell you, "I love You,"

 over and over again?

I'll say it differently each time

 so that you'll keep being my friend

 

Mama,

 may I ask God to keep

 you around forever?

 It just wouldn't be the same

 if we're not together

 

Mama,

 may I ask you to depend

 on me someday?

 Maybe I could return the favor

 somehow  someway
