Mother of Mine you gave to me
All of my life to do as I please
I owe everything I have to you
Mother
Sweet! Mother of Mine
Mother of Mine when I was young
You showed me the right way, things should be done.
Without your love, where would I be?
Mother
Sweet! Mother of Mine.
Mother you gave me happiness, much more than words can say
I pray the Lord that he may bless you, every night and every day.
Mother of mine, now I’m grown
And I can walk straight all on my own
I’d like to give you what you gave to me,
Mother
Sweet! Mother of Mine.
This is a song made famous by a child singing star Neil Reid in 1971. It was an instant hit with the public.
It is very heart touching and is pretty sure to bring tears when listening. Even to those who say, they are not that easy with tears, will surely wet their eyes.
