Mother

When I'm feeling down

and find myself in trouble

sick and tired of all the daily cares

when I'm close to tears with bringing up the children

I recall the days when I was young

And then I say this little prayer

looking at your picture standing there

Mother this is me, I have to say "I'm sorry"

for all the moments that I broke your heart

Mother, now I see what you've been going through

and that I am so much, so much like you

Different points of view

and other moral senses

bandied words, you solved it all so well

Now I follow you, it's not a bed of roses

many times I felt I was in hell

But then I said this little prayer

looking at your picture standing there

Mother this is me, I have to say "I'm sorry"

for all the moments that I broke your heart

Mother, now I see what you've been going through

and that I am so much, so much like you

I wished that you were here again

to talk about it all

'cause now I need your wisdom most of all

Mother this is me, I have to say "I'm sorry"

for all the moments that I broke your heart

Mother, now I see what you've been going through

and that I am so much, so much like you

(Oh mother don't you know? I miss you so)
