Lyrics

Billy Buchanan & Terry Simons

Chorus
Thank you Mama for the hugs and kisses
For showing me the difference between right and wrong
You’re my hero and my inspiration
For your love and patience I wanna thank you Mama

Verse I
When I was feeling low you were there
You’d hold me close and show you cared
By letting me know that it was gonna be alright
When I was sick and lying in my bed
You’d place a washcloth on my head
And wouldn’t leave my side ‘til I felt fine

REPEAT CHORUS

Verse II
I was a angel in the Christmas play
Scared to death on performance day
But you still clapped your hands when I forgot my lines
On Sunday mornings you would look so nice
Daddy had to look at you twice
The portrait of a lady is what you are

REPEAT CHORUS

Bridge
Remember fighting over nothing, Mama
I always thought I knew it all
Though undeserving you surprised me with a gift
And showed me the true depth of a mother’s love

REPEAT CHORUS
