Lyric

I know I made you worry

More times than I can count

I walked through days so carelessly

While you kept holding out

I know I caused you heartache

With all the things I did

And all the words I should have said

Were buried deep and hid

But now I see your gentle hands

The love behind your eyes

You gave me more than I deserved

Your heart, your strength, your life

Mother, Thank you!

For loving me this long

For staying by my side

Even when I was wrong

Mother, Thank You!

For every tear and prayer

I may have been a fool

But you were always there

The years have moved so quickly

And now you're seventy-eight

I wish that I had told you more

Before it got this late

For every sleepless midnight

For every sacrifice

You carried all my broken parts

And held me through my life

If I could turn the time around

I'd hurt you less somehow

But all I really have is this

My honest heart right now

Mother, Thank You!

For loving me this long

For staying by my side

Even when I was wrong

Mother, Thank You!

For every tear and prayer

I may have been a fool

But you were always there

So on this day I promise

To love you while I can

To speak the words I should have said

And try to be a man

Mother, Thank You!

For all you've done for me

Your love became the light

That taught my heart to see

Mother, Thank You!

Please hear me through these lines

I’m still your little child

And always will be, inside

And if these words are not enough

I hope you feel them still

A son who learned too slow, too late

But loves you, always will
