You know, there’s this song that’s been tugging at my heart lately called “When Mama Sang (The Angels Stopped To Listen).” Every time I hear it, I’m reminded of those warm, cozy evenings when everything just felt right. It’s amazing how the song captures that pure, heartfelt emotion of a mother’s love and the comfort it brings.
The lyrics paint such a vivid picture of family gatherings, with Mama’s voice filling the room and everyone feeling a little closer because of it. It’s not just about the act of singing; it’s about the connection, the tradition, and the way music can make even the toughest days feel a bit lighter. I swear, when I listen to it, I can almost hear the angels pausing their own songs just to take in that moment.
What gets me every time is how it taps into that universal feeling—we all have someone whose voice or presence just makes everything better. This song is a beautiful reminder to cherish those moments and the people who create them. If you haven’t heard it yet, I think you’d really connect with it. It’s one of those songs that feels like a warm hug whenever you need it

Lyrics
… Mom didn’t have special trainin’
She couldn’t read the music, just the words
But when she’d stand to sing on Sunday mornin’
She had the sweetest voice I think I’ve, I’ve ever heard
… She loved to sing the songs about our Savior
“There is a Fountain”, was her favorite one
And I’ve seen tears run down the cheeks of sinners
By the time my mama’s song was done
… When mama sang the angels stopped to listen
You could see the love light shinin’ in her face
When mama sang the angels stopped to listen
Now in heaven’ choir she had a special places
… You know my daddy wanted me to sing a song
The day that moma left us
And you know that little chuch
Was filled with all of mama’s friends
And you know it seems we could all here mama singin’
When I could hear her sing her favorite, again
… When mama sang the angels stopped to listen
You could see the love light shining in her face
When mama sang the angels stopped to listen
Now in heaven’ choir she had a special places
… When mama sang the angels stopped to listen
