作词 : Guthrie, Ian If I could only hear my mother sing again If I could close my eyes and hear your voice as then All the friends and family Would sing along with me And set your spirit free In my heart I hear you sing again Every note as natural as then When I sing those songs With family and friends In my heart I hear you sing again I know the troubled times that turned your hair to grey And all the tears and sorrows followed to your grave But deep within the heart of hunger There were always melodies Passed from you to me In my heart I hear you sing again Every note as natural as then When I sing those songs For family and friends In my heart I hear you sing again And it's a long, long road I've come Since my mother's songs were heard But the child I can't outrun Still hangs on every word In my heart I hear you sing again Every note as natural as then When I sing those songs With family and friends In my heart I hear you sing again
