For being there to comfort me When little things go wrong For letting me discover things that you knew all along All the tender hugs and kisses The loving things you do I'd like to thank you, mother, for simply being you For the times you're there to wipe away my tears if they should fall When dreams would wake me late at night, you'd always hear me call And when I need someone to listen, and I don't know what to do For these times, I thank you, mother, for simply being you You're the best friend I have ever known You've shared my joys and fears And the love that binds our hearts just seems to grow from year to year You're my greatest inspiration in everything I do There's no secret to the way you are You're simply being you ♪ You're the best friend I have ever known You've shared my joys, and fears And the love that binds our hearts just seems to grow from year to year You're my greatest inspiration in everything I do There's no secret to the way you are You're simply being you ♪ You're simply being you
