One bright and guiding light That taught me wrong from right I found in my mother's eyes Those baby tales she told That road all paved with gold I found in my mother's eyes Just like a wandering sparrow One lonely soul I walked the straight and narrow To reach my goal God's gift sent from above A real unselfish love I found in my mother's eyes Why's it we don't appreciate the kind of love only a mother can give? Until it's gone, I love you Mom And why's it I never found the time to tell you All the things you mean to me? I'm sorry Mom A simple thanks for being you right up to the very end A thousand thanks for being you, my very best friend When no one else is there, when I just can't seem to find the rest Mom, I know you'll still be here You'll always be the best ♪ God's gift sent from above A real unselfish love I found in my mother's eyes I found in my mother's eyes
