Be kind to your Mother, tell her you love her
I know she's needy but you'll never get another
Not just a Mother, not just a friend
Not just a shoulder from the start until the end
You say you hate her, that's just pretend
The measure of the matter's in the time of which you spend
And every single minute of every single day, time is slipping away
You taught me how to talk and how to stand
What I wouldn't give to hold your hand
You'll never know how I need you this much is true
For all the things you do, this one's for you
Don't be harsh to your Mother, she'll make mistakes
She's only human, just be grateful that she wakes
This isn't easy, she isn't sure
She's doing something that she's never done before
You'll want for nothing, she'll give you more
She did her best to hide the fact that you were poor
And every single minute of every single day, time is drifting away
Time is drifting away
You taught me how to talk and how to stand
What I wouldn't give to hold your hand
You'll never know how I need you this much is true
For all the things you do, this one's for you
And every single minute of every single day, time is drifting away
Time is drifting away
You taught me how to talk and how to stand
What I wouldn't give to hold your hand
You'll never know how I need you and you're the one
For all the things you've done, I'm proud to be your son
