Mom and Dad were reading in the den |
|
Mom said, \"I'm gonna go to bed, it's late\" |
|
She went to the kitchen to make three school lunches |
|
Another night in a mother's day |
|
Put the cereal bowls out for breakfast |
|
Set the coffeemaker for 6 a.m. |
|
Sewed a loose button on brother's shirt for him |
|
Checked sister's math homework, sent a note to the teacher |
|
Added eggs to the grocery list |
|
Started a load of wash, made sure the doors were locked |
|
Put water in the puppy's dish |
|
Wrote a check to the children's piano teacher |
|
Turned the dishwasher on |
|
And Dad called out, \"Honey, what's takin' you so long?\" |
|
Have I ever thanked you |
|
For everything you've done? |
|
Now all that I can say is |
|
\"I love you, Mom\" |
|
Hung some art on the refrigerator door |
|
And headed up the stairs |
|
Kissed all the children and helped sister comb |
|
Her wavy golden hair |
|
Washed her make-up off and turned on the bath |
|
Lay down in the moon's soft light and kissed Dad goodnight |
|
Have I ever thanked you |
|
For everything you've done? |
|
Now all that I can say is |
|
\"I love you, Mom\" |
|
Thank you for nursin' me |
|
Through all those colds and fevers |
|
Thank you for believin' in me |
|
When they were no other believers |
|
And it's never too late to say |
|
\"I love you, Mom\" |
