Only a mother can look through the cupboard
And make something wonderful appear
Too poor for takeout, but we never missed out
She’d wrap up french fries and burgers
Make homemade happy meals
Only a mother can love you through the awkward years
Tell you that you're beautiful and wipe away your jealous tears
Only a mother can listen to the same old song,
Know exactly what you’re doin’ wrong, and still cheer you on
Only a mother
Loves like no other
She gives you wings to fly out on your own
Turns every house into a home
Prays to God you never feel alone
She lectures and loves with one glance
Like only a mother can
Only a mother can help you discover
The beauty of daffodils and tulips in spring
Take walks by flowers, she listens for hours
Trying to solve the world’s problems,
Or just let you speak
Only a mother knows when to stay and when to let you go
She’s always there when you need her most, ya, heaven knows
Only a mother
Loves like no other
She gives you wings to fly out on your own
Turns every house into a home
Prays to God you never feel alone
She lectures and loves with one glance
Like only a mother can
Countless sleepless nights
Oh the tears she’s cried
Hoping she’s doing it all right
Only my mother
Loves like no other
She gives me wings to fly out on my own
Turns every house into a home
And I pray she never feels alone
She reminds me I’m loved with one glance
Like only a mother can
Only a mother can
