lyrics

A Mother Just like You
Key 'D'
There's quiet breathing in the night - everyone's asleep
The only noise from outside is the wind in the trees
Then the sound of a baby cry's and mother is awake
So lovingly tendering - to its every need

Our first day at school was o so hard - but you wiped away the tears
On sports day we'd run and run - and we could hear you cheer
Win or lose it mattered not to you - cause that's the way you are

You were there when we were babes - in your arms and as we grew
You'd send us all off to school - with a kiss and "I love You"
Whenever we would cry - you were there for that too
Oh where in the world would we find a mother just like you


We will grow and leave our home - its time to spread our wings
Find a way to make it on our own - but we'll come back again
Your words of wisdom we'll always cherish
And then there's a home cooked meal

You were there when we were babes - in your arms and as we grew
You'd send us all off to school - with a kiss and "I love You"
Whenever we would cry - you were there for that too
Oh where in the world would we find a mother just like you

Mid 8:
When I get married and settle down - There's one thing I'd like to do
I want my kids to know and have - A mother just like you

Lead Chorus +
When I get married and settle down - There's one thing I'd like to do
I want my kids to know and have - A mother just like you
I want my kids to know and have - A mother just like you
