~ Donny Osmond
Mother of mine you gave to me,
All of my life to do as I please,
I own everything I have to you,
Mother sweet mother of mine.
Mother of mine when I was young
You showed me the right way
Things should be done,
Without your love where would I be,
Mother sweet mother of mine.
Mother you gave me happiness,
Much more than words can say,
I pray the lord that he may bless you,
Every night and every day.
Mother of mine now I am grown
And I can walk straight all on my own,
I’d like to give you what you gave to me,
Mother sweet mother of mine.
~ Taylor Swift
I’m five years old and it’s getting cold
I’ve got my big coat on
I hear your laugh and look up smiling at you
I run and run
Past the pumpkin patch and the tractor rides
Look now the sky is gold
I hug your legs and fall asleep on the way home
I don’t know why all the trees change in the fall
I know you’re not scared of anything at all
Don’t know if Snow White’s house is near or far away
But I know I had the best day with you today
I’m thirteen now and don’t know how my friends could be so mean
I come home crying and you hold me tight and grab the keys
And we drive and drive until we found a town far enough away
And we talk and window shop till I forgot all their names
I don’t know who I’m gonna talk to now at school
But I know I’m laughing on the car ride home with you
Don’t know how long it’s gonna take to feel okay
But I know I had the best day with you today
I have an excellent father
His strength is making me stronger
God smiles on my little brother
Inside and out he’s better than I am
I grew up in a pretty house and I had space to run
And I had the best days with you
There is a video I found from back when I was three
You set up a paint set in the kitchen and you’re talking to me
It’s the age of princesses and pirate ships and the seven dwarfs
Daddy’s smart and you’re the prettiest lady in the whole wide world
Now I know why all the trees change in the fall
I know you were on my side even when I was wrong
And I love you for giving me your eyes
Staying back and watching me shine and I didn’t know if you knew
So I’m taking this chance to say that I had the best day with you today
~ The Police
Well the telephone is ringing,
Is that my mother on the phone?
Telephone is ringing,
Is that my mother on the phone?
The telephone is screaming,
Won’t she leave me alone?
The telephone is ringing,
Is that my mother on the phone?
Well every girl that I go out with
Becomes my mother in the end.
Every girl I go out with
Becomes my mother in the end.
Well I hear my mother calling,
But I don’t need her as a friend.
Well every girl I go out with
Becomes my mother in the end.
Oh, Oh mother
Oh mother dear please listen
And don’t devour me.
Oh mother dear please listen
Don’t devour me.
Oh women please have mercy
Let this poor boy be.
Oh mother dear please listen
And don’t devour me.
Oh mother……
Well the telephone is ringing
Is that my mother on the phone?
Telephone is ringing
Is that my mother on the phone?
Oh mother
~ The Backstreet Boys
It takes a lot to know what is love
It’s not the big things, but the little things
That can mean enough
A lot of prayers to get me through
And there is never a day that passes by
I don’t think of you
You were always there for me
Pushing me and guiding me
Always to succeed
You showed me
When I was young just how to grow
You showed me
Everything that I should know
You showed me
Just how to walk without your hands
‘Cause mom you always were
The perfect fan
God has been so good (ohh)
Blessing me with a family
Who did all they could (ohhh)
And I’ve had many years of grace
And it flatters me when I see the smile on your face
I wanna thank you for what you’ve done
In hopes I can give back to you
And be the perfect son
You showed me
When I was young just how to grow
You showed me
Everything that I should know
You showed me
Just how to walk without your hands
‘Cause mom yo always were
The perfect fan
You showed me how to love (you showed me how to love)
You showed me how to care (showed me how to care)
And you showed me that you would
Always be there (always be there)
I wanna thank you for that time
And I’m proud to say you’re mine
You showed me (you showed me)
When I was young just how to grow
You showed me
Everything that I should know
You showed me
Just how to walk without your hands
‘Cause mom you always were
The perfect fan
‘Cause mom you always were
Mom you always were
mom you always were
You know you always were
‘Cause mom you always were
The perfect fan
I love you mom!
~ Good Charlotte
I’m sitting here I’m thinking back to a time when I was young…
My memory, is clear as day
I’m listening to the dishes clink, you were downstairs, you would sing
Songs of praise
And all the times we laughed with you, and all the times that you stayed true to us
Now we say…
I said I thank you, I’ll always thank you
More than you could know, than I could ever show
And I love you, I’ll always love you
There’s nothing I won’t do, to say these words to you
That you’re beautiful forever
You were my mom, you were my dad, the only thing I ever had was you, it’s true
And even when the times got hard, you were there to let us know…that we’d get through
You showed me how to be a man, you taught me how to understand the things, people do
You showed me how to love my God, you taught me that not everyone knows the truth
And I thank you, I’ll always thank you
More than you could know, than I could ever show
And I love you, I’ll always love you
There’s nothing I won’t do, to say these words to you
That you will live forever
Always, always and forever
