Mama bakes all afternoon G Am G /
Daughter licks the batter spoon G Am C /
Sealed in goodness from the heart C / G /
Sugar cookies in the jar C D G /

Then Mama fell down Daddy took her into town C /
The last batch cools, (the) doctor patched her up… C / G / / /
to make her well
Then Mama took a turn, soon enough they learn C /
God had come to raise her up… C C D G /
…to have her dwell with Him C Cmaj7 D /

Sugar cookies in the jar
Sealed in goodness from the heart
Lick the batter from the spoon
Mama’s bound to be home soon

Daughter was four, crying on the floor
Aroma fades as daddy takes her up… to dry her tears
Grew up to a life as a South Dakota wife
She refused to give that jar up… …she kept it years on end

In eighty-eight seasons she never found the reason
To take that jar and open it up… to let go the past
What better way to save a sentimental crave
Sweetness that brought that daughter up… …kept Mama’s last good gift

Sugar cookies in the jar
Sealed in goodness from the heart
Lick the batter from the spoon
Mama’s bound to be home soon
Lick the batter from the spoon
They’ll be reunited soon
