Story behind the song
A couple of years ago I went to a Cape May County Songwriters meeting at the request my co-worker friend Tom Leonik who was a member.
A beautiful setting and gazing out this huge picture window I could see Hereford Inlet Lighthouse in the distance. The arms of light were turning ever so slowly in the distance. Never having written a song before I thought to my self I could do that since there was so much creative energy flowing in the room. Also since Elvis Pressley First song was about his Mamma, I thought it might fit in this song. I also remembered I had a friend who was very sick with a burst appendix and his mamma was very worried.
Lyrics
THE LIGHT HOUSE (at Herefords Inlet)
By Reg Sappie 9-13- 2005
Am
There was a time of darkness - a time of light
E
Mama can you see the light
The tide is high - the moon is dark
Mama can you see the light
A ray of hope – shine-n thru the darkness
Mama It’ll be alright
Call-n out-can you hear me
Mama can you see the light
Chorus:-------------------------
B
Turns so slowly - in the distance
A
A ray of hope is shining bright
B
My arms reach out – try-n touch you
A B A B A B
And bring you safely thru the night- i-ight –i-ight
--------------------------------------------------------
Am
I see it clear – It’s shining bright
E
Mama can you see the light
I say a prayer - your coming back
Mama can you see the light
I’m call out – can you hear me
Mama wont you hold on tight
A voice keeps saying - soft and clear
Mama, everythings gonna be all right
--B--------------------------------------
Turns so Slowly - in the distance
A
A ray of hope is shining bright
B
My arms reach out – to try-n touch you
A B A B A B
Bring you safely thru the night- i-ight –i-ight
A B A B A B
Mama’s gonna be all right - all right - all right
A E
Mama can you see His Light
