        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

     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
