Eddie Mugavero: music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

I believe Cath brought this idea to the table. All Mama ever wanted was for her kids to be together on a Sunday. That was her dream come true! Unfortunately, sometimes we wait too long. Larry Hansen, guitarist from the band Alabama, was in on this song too...although I think I completed it in its entirety after hearing the idea from Cath. He is playing on the demo, along with Jay Vern, and Ron delivers it sweetly.

MAMA’S DREAM COME TRUE SUNDAY AFTERNOON

THE NIECES AND THE NEPHEWS WERE RUNNING IN THE YARD
IN SUNDAY SUITS WITH GRASS STAINS ON THEIR KNEES
UNCLE BILL AND COUSIN MARY WERE STRUMMIN’ THEIR GUITARS
SINGING ALL THE SONGS WE USED TO SING

AND WHEN TIME CAME FOR SUPPER AND WE NEEDED EXTRA CHAIRS
I WENT UPSTAIRS TO LOOK IN MY OLD ROOM
TODAY THE FAMILY’S ALL TOGETHER JUST LIKE WE ALWAYS WERE
IN MAMA’S DREAM COME TRUE SUNDAY AFTERNOON

IN MAMA’S DREAM COME TRUE SUNDAY AFTERNOON
WE ATE AND PLAYED AND PRAYED TOGETHER, EVERYONE WAS THERE
THERE’S NOTHING THAT US KIDS WOULD RATHER DO
AND THAT DAY WOULD LAST FOREVER (THAN TO STAY WITH HER FOREVER)
MAMAS DREAM COME TRUE SUNDAY AFTERNOON

AND WHEN WE FINISHED SUPPER WE SAT OUT ON THE STEPS
THE KIDS WERE CATCHING FIREFLIES IN JARS
WE SMILED AT ONE ANOTHER AND TALKED ABOUT REGRETS
AND WISHED WE DIDN’T LIVE SO FAR APART
THEN DADDY STARTED CRYIN’ AND HE HUGGED MY UNCLE BILL
AND PRAYED THE LORD WOULD MAKE SURE MAMA KNEW
WE’RE ALL SO SORRY THAT WE WAITED TO SEE YOUR DREAM FULLFILLED
MAMA’S DREAM COME TRUE SUNDAY AFTERNOON
