** this song is dedicated to Marion Virginia VanZant (Donnie's mother). A great songwriter once told me that all songs are little gifts from heaven. Mama, this is my gift to you. I miss you-Donnie VanZant Mama, words can't express How I feel about you Especially at this Christmastime You went out of your way, Thoughtful gifts that you gave A love of giving, you passed on to us Christmastime, Lord I love you Sometimes life just doesn't seem fair Christmastime, oh I miss you I still see you in that old rockin' chair You were always there for me Through all of your life I still miss our telephone calls The jokes that you told And the laughter we shared Oh Lord, that's what I miss the most Christmastime, Lord I love you Sometimes life just doesn't seem fair Christmastime, oh I miss you Sittin' in that old rockin' chair Bridge: Lord, keep her safe in your arms Right where she belongs 'Cause I know she's in heaven Mama, you're finally home Oh, you're finally home Christmastime, Lord I love you Sometimes life just doesn't seem fair Christmastime, oh I miss you Sittin' in that old rockin' chair I still see you in that old rockin' chair Merry Christmas Always know that I'm thinking of you Merry Christmas Mama, I will always love you
