Verse 

        C 
It was kinda hard believing 
       F 
Mama Stewart couldn't see me then 
   C                             G 
Or even that her age was ninety-four 
             C  
'Cause the years that took her sight away 
     F 
Had given her the right to say 
      D7                                    G 
What she believed, and she did, praise the Lord 

          C 
And the things she said reminded me 
     F 
Of things I'd grown too blind to see 
     C                               F 
And feelings that I'd hidden deep inside 
                                                C 
And when she said goodbye and kissed me I was thankful  
                             G                C 
She couldn't see the sudden tears I couldn't hide 


F                           C 
Everything is beautiful in Mama Stewart's eyes 
G                             C 
Another shining reason to believe 
F                              C 
Everything is new and full of wonder and surprise 
   G                                C 
Inside the world that Mama Stewart sees 


Verse  
     C 
She rode the covered wagons west 
      F 
When she was only seven 
         C                        G 
But she came to California on a plane 
             C 
She said at ninety-four she thought for sure 
       F 
She'd got too close to heaven 
     D7                            G 
And like as not was going all the way 

         C 
But the miracle of medicine 
     F 
And good old time religion 
   C                                   F 
Removed the veil of darkness from her eyes 
                                               C 
They say she praised the Lord and thanked the doctor 
                 G               C 
And didn't even seem at all surprised 

F                           C 
Everything is beautiful in Mama Stewart's eyes 
G                             C 
Another shining reason to believe 
    F                              C 
And everything is new and full of wonder and surprise 
   G                                C 
Inside the world that Mama Stewart sees 
       G                            C 
Lord, let me see what Mama Stewart sees
