There's an old armchair and it means the world to me For I used to sit there, upon my mother's knee And she'd read to me the stories That children love to hear Now there's no-one to sit in mother's chair I still recall the many times, the words she'd say to me Fight for all your dreams, turn them to reality And as I sat by her in wonder Her eyes held so much pride I knew against all others, I had mother on my side CHORUS Mother's chair is old and dusty and the colour's fading fast
But to me it holds a memory of happy days long past Like the way she'd smile and hold my hand and brush away the tears Now there's no-one to sit in mother's chair Now the old chair is still standing where she left it on that day When God came to visit and carry her away And every time I see it, it looks so cold and bare Now there's no-one to sit in mother's chair REPEAT CHORUS REPEAT FIRST VERSE
