Key of "C"
CHORUS:
DID YOU HUG YOUR MOTHER TODAY?
BEST DO IT WHILE SHE'S STILL AROUND.
TOO OFTEN WE TAKE HER FOR GRANTED
FORGETTING ONE DAY SHE'LL BE GONE
DID YOU HUG YOUR MOTHER TODAY?
DID YOU SMILE, KISS HER AND SAY?
MOTHER, I LOVE YOU, I CARE.
DID YOU HUG YOUR MOTHER TODAY?
VERSE:
MOTHER'S ARE ALWAYS AROUND
AT LEAST THAT'S THE WAY IT SEEMS
SHE WAS THERE WHEN WE OPENED OUR EYES
SHE GAVE US THE FOODS THAT WE EAT.
MOTHER'S THEY SANG US TO SLEEP
THEY CHASED AWAY SCARY THINGS.
AND MOTHERS, THEY BANDAGED OUT KNEES
GAVE US COMFORT AND LOTS OF SYMPATHY.
CHORUS - TURN
VERSE:
MOTHERS WILL ONE DAY GROW OLD
AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT WE HOPE FOR OUR OWN.
BUT WHY SHOULD THEY LIVE ALL THESE YEARS?
IF WE DON'T WRITE HER, CALL HER, BE NEAR?
IF YOU'VE GOT A MOTHER SOME WHERE
WRITE HER, CALL HER, GO THERE.
HUG HER, TELL HER YOU CARE.
CAUSE SHE WON'T ALWAYS BE THERE.
