Hey mom I know that it's late, hope I didn't wake you
|
Yeah, everything is O.K., just needed to talk to you
|
Today I had one of those days
|
But I didn't call to complain
|
Just to say everything that I didn't for all of those years
|
You were a taxicab driver, a nurse and a maid
|
A waitress, a cook and a shoulder to lay
|
My head on to cry on, when nothing was going my way
|
You knew every answer without cracking a book
|
And I took for granted that I had it so good
|
And I'm sorry it's taken me so long to say
|
Thank you I love you
|
Twenty years late
|
|
It's funny how time passing by can change your perspective
|
A little while out on your own can sure make you think
|
I don't know how you did it
|
No I can't find one spare minute
|
The days run together but I don't remember you
|
Ever letting us down
|
|
You were the judge and the jury when I did wrong
|
Been my biggest fan from my very first song
|
The gas in the engine that always kept me moving on
|
A seamstress a counselor and the one referee
|
That could cold stop a fight between my brother and me
|
And I'm sorry it's taken me so long to say
|
Thank you I love you
|
Twenty years late
|
|
I'll let you go now
|
But I hope that you know now how I feel
|
Thank you for making me the man I've become
|
I love you and I will always be your son
|
Mom that's all I called to say
|
Twenty years late
|
