But Mama is Going Away

But Mama is Going Away is a song from But, Mama, But....

Lyrics
Leona: My mama, she feeds me and washes my fur

The first thing I see every morning is her

The last thing I kiss every night is her face

My mama's the very best one

My mama reads stories and sings like a bird

And knows how I feel when I don't say a word

My mama is cozy and nosy and great

My mama's as bright as the sun

But mama... but mama is going away...

Good thing I'm big now, and I'll be... okay.

My mama, she's funny, and so nice to me

She runs for a bandage when I cut my knee

She never makes fun when I make a mistake

She says "No one's perfect, you know."

But my mama's perfect! She's perfect! It's true!

How else could she always know just what to do?

When my head is hot, she's as cool as a lake

But warm as a fire when it snows

But mama... but mama is going away...

Good thing I'm big now, and I'll be... okay.
