When She Sang Amazing Grace Lyrics

When I was a child, my mama'd hold me
In her lovin' arms when the storm clouds come along
Dark clouds rising, storms a ragin
She'd sing an old gospel song
Tcrashing and lightning, flashing
I found comfort in the words that she would sing
Beyond these dark skies there's a rainbow
That only love and the sun'll bring

When she sang Amazing Grace
I felt tears in my eyes
When she sang Circle Be Unbroken
Lord, I knew there were bluer skies

Well Time rolled on, and the circle was broken
Mama went on to somewhere beyond the blue
I started ramblin' that lost highway
And hard livin' took away the child she knew
Yeah, I started drinkin' I started gamblin'
I had no one to look over me
There was no blue skies, only sorrow
And I could only hear her sing in my memory

When she sang Amazing Grace
I felt tears in my eyes
When she sang Circle Be Unbroken
Lord, I knew there were bluer skies
I was runnin' with a wild bunch
Hanging with the rough and the rowdy kind
I was livin fast, and I's dying young
So alone, Lord I had a worried mind

I was drunk and I was hurtin'
Somewhere on the streets in New Orleans
When I stumbled into a little shelter
I saw an angel with a tambourine

When she sang Amazing Grace
I felt the tears in my eyes
When she sang Circle Be Unbroken
Lord, I knew there's bluer skies
