I don't see you very often and it's sad that we're apart
I just want you to know that you're always in my heart
My sweet mother - you gave me life and gave me light
You are in a million with power to make whole world bright
You taught me pride in my achievements
And stand up for myself
The value of compassion and the love of someone else
My good mother - raised me up to be a man
You're one in a million - tell you every way i can
I know it wasn't always easy - never enough to go around
Did the best that you were able and best is what you found
Hey now mother - don't it make you swell with pride
You're sure on in a million - make me feel so good inside
Six thousand miles between us - don't think about that now
Telephones and photographs have got to do somehow
My dear mother - you gave me love and made me whole
No matter where i wander - you're in my lovin' heart and soul
