A song for my mother I wrote in 2001 one day before the 911 disaster. |
Have I told you? That you are my protector, Who doesn't take a break. Have I told you? That you are there to correct me, Whenever I make a mistake, And I think you are very great. Have I told you? I admire what you've done for me, And you always have a place in my heart. Oh Mother! you're my very heart and soul, Oh Mother! I'll love you until I grow old Oh Mother! I'm sorry that I ever broke your sweet heart, When you gave me a brand new start, I was afraid to let go, and I was afraid to grow. Have I thanked you? For having me and my brother, And the hardships you've endured Are like no other. Have I thanked you? For giving us such a great life, One that's been free of strife, Oh Mother! You're my very heart and soul, Oh Mother! I'll love you until I grow old, Oh Mother! I'm sorry that I ever broke your sweet heart, When you gave me a brand new start, I was afraid to let go, and I was afraid to grow. Have I told you? I will not ever hurt you, Have I told you? I'm sorry I made you blue, Have I told you? that have such a brave heart Ever since we met from the start. Oh Mother! you're my very heart and soul, Oh Mother! I'll love you until I grow old, Oh Mother! I'm sorry that I broke your sweet heart When you gave me a brand new start, I was afraid to let go and I was afraid to grow. Have I told you? You are my best friend, One I hope to keep until my end Have I told you? You are special to me, And that you've made me so happy. Have I told you? that I love you until the end of time and that you always will be mine. Oh Mother! You're my very heart and soul, Oh Mother! I'll love you until I grow old, Oh Mother! I'm sorry that I ever broke your sweet heart, When you gave me a brand new start, I was afraid to let go, and I was afraid to grow. Chorus ( repeat and fade ) |
