Lyrics

Rise and shine the season's turning crossing the greatest hurdles of our lives
Finding something in my memory so my mom in her day is all she'll be remembered by

When she would leave the Mona Lisa and cross across the barren sea
With Rosalie and Josephina to Albany, New York from Casteliri

Where I can see you sing La Mamma Di Rosina
Sitting with your sisters on the wall sing Maria
No, there's nobody here but all I do is see ya'

Hide those tears now the grieving's behind us- she had nothing left to fight
Half past one the night her breathing denied her the right to lead a longer life

Oh Mamma are you watching me now-I wonder were you proud of me?
Oh, they say you're somewhere at peace now but you will always be a part of me

Cause I can see you sing La Mamma Di Rosina
Sitting with your sisters on the wall sing Maria
No, there's nobody here but all I do is see ya


You're always on my mind Maria, always on my mind

My father hoped they'd find a treatment and all the while he cared for you
And watched you face this worst disease when there was nothing else that he could do

But I can see you sing La Mamma Di Rosina
Sitting with your sisters on the wall sing Maria
No, there's nobody here but all I do is see ya

You're always on my mind Maria, always on my mind
