[Verse 1]
C7 F
I was seated one day, in a gilded cafe
C G7
In a window that looked on the street
C C7 F
A face caught my eye, in a crowd passing by
C G C
And I hastily sprang to my feet
[Verse 2]
F
It was my sister's sad face, I had left home to trace
C G7
Thru her pride she had left us one day
C C7 F
And it brought back to me, as plain as could be
C G C
My mother, as I heard her say:
[Chorus]

If you should see your sister
F C
Do not reproach or blame
C
Tell her how we've missed her

I love her just the same

Say my darling the words that you brought her
F E7
Whether in pride or shame
F C
Say that she's still my daughter

Whisper your mother's name
