My Yiddishe mame, I need her more than

My Yiddishe mame, I’d like to kiss her
wrinkled brow
I long to hold her hand once more as in
days gone by
And ask her to forgive me for things I did
that made her cry
How few were her pleasures—she never
cared for fashion styles
Her jewels and her treasures she found in
her baby’s smiles
Oh I know that I owe what I am today
To that dear old lady who’s young yet grey
To that wonderful Yiddishe mame
Mame mine.

Wasn’t it yesterday when they were small?
Sunrise, sunset; sunrise, sunset,
Swiftly flow the days;
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers,
Blossoming even as we gaze.
Sunrise, sunset; sunrise, sunset,
Swiftly fly the years;
One season following another,
Laden with happiness and tears.
