I Wish I Had a Mommy Like You - Tammy Wynette

作曲：B. Sherrill/N. Wilson/D. WALLS

There lives a little boy in the house next door to me

And as usual his mommy was gone

So he came over this morning and sat down next to me

And asked why does mommy leave me alone

But he'll find out someday why his mommy stays away

And why a woman needs arms to hold her tight

And that she would stay at home and not leave him all alone

If his daddy didn't stay away at night

He said I wish I had a mommy like you just like you

To hold me in her arms the way you do

When I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep

And I ask for a mommy like you

Though a tear fell from his eye he was trying not to cry

I said don't worry everything will be all right

So you just wait and see and I held him close to me

Just like I held his daddy last night

He said I wish

And I ask for a mommy like you

Just like you

To hold me in her arms the way you do

When I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep

And I ask for a mommy like you

And I ask for a mommy like you
