"Mother"

[Verse 1]

I would never let a tear fall from your eyes, no, no no

Cause everything you are to me, ohh I could never let you hurt inside

You mean so much, and I'm so thankful that you're in my life

And I appreciate your love and all your sacrifice

Without you by my side, I never could survive

I wouldn't be the woman standin' here before your eyes

[Pre-Chorus]

You taught me strength and you gave me guidance

Whenever faith was lost, you were there to find it

And all because a mother's love is unconditional

With all my heart and all my soul, I wanna let you know

[Chorus]

That I thank you, and I love you

And I would never place anyone above you

Said I thank you, and I love you

And I will never ever place no one above you

You have given me life, and I just want you to know

That you're the reason I'm here today

I will never let go to everything that we share

And nothing can compare

I thank you, I thank you, I thank you, here's what I'm sayin'

[Verse 2]

See, I've been blessed to be raised by a woman so strong

Cause even when I did things wrong

You would show me just the way that I should carry on

You kept me safe, and you protected me with all you had

And any time I was in need you gave your very last

Without you by my side, I never could survive

I wouldn't be the woman standing here before your eyes

[Pre Chorus]

Ju taught me strength and, ju gave me guidance

Whenever faith was lost, ju were there to find it

And all because a mother's love is unconditional

With all my heart, and all my soul, I wanna let you know

[Chorus]

That I thank you, and I love you

And I would never place anyone above you

Said I thank you, and I love you

And I will never ever place no one above you

You have given me life, and I just want you to know

That you're the reason I'm here today

I will never let go to everything that we share

And nothing can compare

I thank you, I thank you, I thank you, here's what I'm sayin'

[Bridge]

I remember wakin' up early monday morning

With my new dress, and my new shoes, with the buckles on em

And you would kiss my face, and say "I love you babe"

And you would be right there to take all of my fear away

And when he broke my heart, you said it was hist lost

And not to think about, "you're better off without him"

Remember when they said that I was never gonna make it

You said "it's yours, and all you gotta do is go and take it"

[Chorus]

I thank you, and I love you

And I would never place any above you

Said I thank you, and I love you

And I will never ever place no one above you

See, you have given me life, and I just want you to know

That you're the reason I'm here today

I will never let go to everything that we share

And nothing can compare

I thank you, I thank you, I thank you, here's what I'm sayin'

I thank you, and I love you

And I would never ever place anyone above you

Said I thank you, and I love you

And I will never ever place no one above you

See, you have given me life, and I just want you to know

That you're the reason I'm here today

I will never let go to everything that we share

And nothing can compare

I thank you, I thank you, I thank you, here's what I'm sayin' yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
