Lyrics

Mother Dearest

This one's for you, Mumsy

I hope I do it justice

Mother dearest

I hope you hear this

You've got to be the sincerest

Purest soul I've met

On this earth

I would have been cursed without you there to show me strength

From where I stay to outer space

You're love it knows no lengths

No barricade or boundaries

I'm blessed to have you round me

I'd cry for you

I'd ride for you

I'd die for you and proudly

No questions asked

I'd be less than half thе man they see

If you weren't thеre

To guide me through this stressful quest and path

My guiding star

When I'm feeling dark

You shine a light with the kindest heart

What Greggors always says is right

I've got the best mum and I couldn't ask for more

You boys will always love you more than words of that be sure

Yeah

Mother you get me through this life

Every time I feel I'm falling

You give me hope inside

Even when the rain is pouring

Down On me here you say

I'm always gonna love you Darling

You brighten up my day

You know how much I love ya

Whatever life has thrown at you

You still remain as kind

There's something hard to do

'Cause life has turned me cold as ice

At times I don't know what to do

I'm cracking up inside

But then I talk with you

And over everything I rise

It's hard to write a tune

Where I could even here Describe

Just how much you mean to me

But hey, I thought I'd try

I love you Kate and Sylvie too

The women in my life

Tried to raise me right

But where I grew can't be too nice

But when I'm feeling blue

You chase the clouds from out the sky

You gave me my creative side

And opened up my mind

When all I see is doom

You get me through

You make me fight

Can't wait to see you hold my niece or nephew with my eyes

A grandmother finally

Another child blessed to be

Held inside your arms

Whilst you love them so intensively

You forget the world

Feeling happy like you're meant to be

I just hope you know how grateful we'll forever be

Mother you get me through this life

Every time I feel I'm falling

You give me hope inside

Even when the rain is pouring

Down On me here you say

I'm always gonna love you. Darling

You brighten up my day

You know how much I love ya

Mother your the one I'll always love I'll always love Oh ohh

Mother you get me through this life

Every time I feel I'm falling

You give me hope inside

Even when the rain is pouring

Down On me here you say

I'm always gonna love you. Darling

You brighten up my day

You know how much I love ya

I love you, Mum

Thank you for everything

You're the best
