Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Well, good morning, Jesus
Yes, it's me again
But I didn't call this time
To get forgiveness for my sins
I called to talk to Mama
And I know she's there with you
If there's a phone in Heaven
Then Jesus, put me through
And give me one more chance to tell her
That I love her
Oh, let me hear her sweet voice one more time
For I want her to know how much
I'm thinking of her
If there's a phone in Heaven
Put my mama on the line

All those things I should have told her
When I still had the chance
But one day, Lord, you took her
With no warning in advance
So I'm begging now please give me
One last opportunity
If there's a phone in Heaven
Let my mama talk to me

And give me one more chance to tell her
That I love her
Oh, let me hear her sweet voice one more time
For I want her to know how much
I'm thinking of her
If there's a phone in Heaven
Put my mama on the line

Oh if there's a phone in heaven
Put my mama on the line
