when mama sang (the angels stopped to listen)
Mama didn't have special trainin' She couldn't read the music, just the words But when she'd stand to sing on Sunday mornin' She had the sweetest voice I think I've, I've ever heard.  She loved to sing the songs about our Savior "There is a Fountain", was her favorite one And I've seen tears roll down the cheeks of sinners By the time my mama's song was done.  When mama sang the angels stopped to listen You could see the love light shinin' in her face When mama sang the angels stopped to listen Now in heaven's choir she has a special place.  You know my daddy wanted me to sing a song The day that mama left us And you know that little church Was filled with all of mama's friends And you know it seems we could all hear mama singin' When I couldn't finish up her favorite hymn.  When mama sang the angels stopped to listen You could see the love light shining in her face When mama sang the angels stopped to listen Now in heaven's choir she has a special place. When mama sang the angels stopped to listen.
