My Mother
(You're just an angel and I love you)There are friends who'll want you but just for a dayThere are pals you think true but they'll cast you awayBut there's one loving soul boys I'll sure recommendThrough this old world of sorrow she'll be true till the endMother though her hands are all wrinkled and oldMother silver hair that has lost all the gold(You left her alone went to roam through the yearsBut all that you left her were heartaches and tears)So kiss her old brow whisper softly and trueMother you're just an angel and I love youOn the door of a cottage a wreath sadly hungAnd a hearse stood there awaiting as the choir softly sungThere were flowers in their beauy and the old Parson he prayedThis was the last tribute as we left for her graveShe won't meet you tonight son when you crave her caressShe has reared you to manhood and now you've laid her to restThose flowers in their beauty ah to her they're unknownCause tonight she's with the angels up around God's great throneSo don't wait that late son to try and repayGive those flowers and give those treasures but give them todayLet her know that you love her and kinda show that you careCause she's your mother God love her she's as true as a prayerSo kiss her old brow whisper softly and trueMother you're just an angel and I love you From Letras Mania
