Of all the people I've met in my life,
You are the best of all.
Whenever I feel ever so short,
You tell me that I am tall.
You laugh at every single joke,
Even if you know them all.
You're always standing by my side,
And you catch me when I fall.
We always sing,laugh and play,
All the way throughout the day.
At sunset we lay down under the sun,
Thinking about our day of fun.
I reach for your hand and you grab mine,
And I feel your love, oh lovely mother of mine.
Now as I lay under dusk's laudable light,
I reach slowly for your hand,
Hoping you'll grab mine.
But you can't because you're under heaven's dawn,
Oh lovely mother of mine.
You can't because you're gone,
Oh lovely mother of mine.
