for the love and affection
And thanks for the heartaches
and the hours of devotion
Every mo ment of your love
when at night I awoke you
You kissed and you teased me,
Though I will not forget it,
You're the mother that loved me
through these tender years
and she allayed your fears
through life there's no better
Than the mother that cared for you
through these tender years
that's the day you'll grieve her
But do not forget her wherever you go
Your friends may be many,
but there will not be any
Like the dear one that loved you,
and she allayed your fears
through life there's no better
Than the mother that cared for you
through these tender years
and she allayed her fears
through life there's no better
Than the Mother that cared for you
through these tender years
And the mother that cares for you
