Scott Whitby and Chelsea Stallings, 2023
She hated to cook but she did it anyway
A slave to the kitchen for 3 meals a day
Did all the things a housewife should of done
We wanted for some things, but we didn’t want for love
It's been fifty years but it was yesterday
She sang songs in the kitchen
How Great Thou Art, in her own way
while washing the dishes
tryin' to talk to me about my day
Didn’t know I would miss it or, try to relive it
but I find myself reminiscing
about my mom
singing songs
in the kitchen
And sometimes I'd wake up hearing that sound
Something about her voice I can hear it now
She’d tiptoe to my room and gently cover me
with a quilt she’d made from hand me down things
Our little home felt so sweet
She sang songs in the kitchen
How Great Thou Art, in her own way
while washing the dishes
tryin' to talk to me about my day
Didn’t know I would miss it or, try to relive it
but I find myself reminiscing
about my mom
singing songs
in the kitchen
I wish she could be here so she could see
how something so simple
makes me…
Sing her songs in the kitchen
How Great Thou Art, in her own way
while washing the dishes
just like she did yesterday
Didn’t know I would miss it or, try to relive it
but I find myself reminiscing
about my mom, can't help but sing along!
Singing songs, with her,
in the kitchen
