You would have liked him,

mama you would.

Mama he makes things,

Mama they are good.

Just as you said from the start,

children and art,

He should be happy,

mama he's blue.

What do I do?

You should have seen it,

it was a sight.

Mama I mean it,

all color and light.

I don't understand what it was,

but mama the things that he does,

they twinkle and shimmer and buzz.

You would have liked them.

it, him,

Henry, Henry, Henry...

It's George, grandmother.

Of course it is.

I thought you were your father for a moment.

Did I tell you who that was?

Of course,

that is your mother.

Isn't she beautiful,

there she is,

there she is,

there she is,

there she is

Mama is everywhere,

he must have loved her so much.

Is she really in all those places Marie?

This is our family, this is the light,

after I go this is all that you got honey.

Wasn't she beautiful though?

You would have liked her,

mama did things,

no one had done.

Mama was funny,

mama was fun.

Mama spent money,

when she had none.

Mama said honey,

mustn't be blue.

It's not so much do what you like

as it is that you like what you do.

Mama said darling,

don't make such a drama.

A little less thinking, a little more feeling,

I'm just quoting mama.

A child is so sweet,

and the girls are so rupturous.

Isn't it lovely how artist can capture us.

Yes it is.

You would have liked her,

honey I'm wrong.

You would have loved her.

Mama enjoy things,

mama was smart.

See how she shimmers,

I mean from the heart.

I know honey you don't agree,

but this is our family tree.

Just wait till we are there and you'll see,

listen to me,

mama was smart,

listen to mama.

Children and art,

children and art.

Goodbye mama.
