Hey, mom I know that it's late |
|
Hope I didn't wake you |
|
Yeah, everything is okay |
|
Just needed to talk to you |
|
Today I had one of those days |
|
But I didn't call to complain |
|
Just to say everything |
|
That I didn't for all of those years |
|
You were a taxicab driver, a nurse and a maid |
|
A waitress, a cook and a shoulder to lay |
|
My head on to cry on |
|
When nothing was going my way |
|
You knew every answer without cracking a book |
|
And I took for granted that |
|
I had it so good |
|
And I'm sorry it's taken me so long to say thank you, |
|
I love you |
|
Twenty years late |
|
It's funny how time passing by can change your perspective |
|
A little while out on your own can sure make you think |
|
I don't know how you did it no |
|
I can't find one spare minute |
|
The days run together but |
|
I don't remember you ever letting us down |
|
You were the judge and the jury when |
|
I did wrong |
|
Been my biggest fan from my very first song |
|
The gas in the engine |
|
That always kept me moving on |
|
A seamstress a counselor and the one referee |
|
That could cold stop a fight between my brother and me |
|
And I'm sorry it's taken me so long to say, thank you |
|
I love you |
|
Twenty years late |
|
I'll let you go now but |
|
I hope that you know now how |
|
I feelThank you for making me the man |
|
I've become |
|
I love you and |
|
I will always be your son |
|
Mom that's all |
|
I called to say |
|
Twenty years late |
|
Twenty years late |
|
Twenty years late |
