Mother

Mother - Ashanti

Composed by：A. Douglas/Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds

I would never let a tear fall from your eyes

Oh no no no

'Cause everything you are to me

Oooh

I could never let you hurt inside

You mean so much and I'm so thankful that you're in my life

And I appreciate your love and all your sacrifice

Without you by my side I never could survive

I wouldn't be the woman standing here before your eyes

You taught me strength and you gave me guidance

Whenever faith was lost you were there to find it

And all because a mother's love is unconditional

With all my heart and all my soul I wanna let you know

Said I thank you I thank you

And I love you I love you

I would never place anyone above you

Said I thank you I thank you

And I love you I love you

And I would never ever place no one above you

You have given me life and I just want you to know

That you're the reason

I'm here today I will never let go

To everything that we share and nothing can compare

I thank you I thank you I thank you

It's what I'm saying

See I've been blessed to be raised by a woman so strong

'Cause even when I did things wrong

You would show me just the way that I should carry on

You kept me safe and you protected me with all you had

And any time I was in need you gave your very last

Without you by my side I never could survive

I wouldn't be the woman standing here before your eyes

You taught me strength and you gave me guidance

Whenever faith was lost you were there to find it

And all because a mother's love is unconditional

With all my heart and all my soul I wanna let you know

That I thank you I thank you

And I love you I love you

I would never place anyone above you

Said I thank you I thank you

And I love you I love you

Never place anyone above you

You have given me life and I just want you to know

That you're the reason

I'm here today I will never let go

To everything that we share and nothing can compare

I thank you I thank you I thank you

It's what I'm saying

I remember wakin' up early monday morning

With my new dress and my new shoes with the buckles on 'em

And you would kiss my face and say "I love you babe"

And you would be right there to take all of my fear away

And when he broke my heart you said it was his lost

And not to think about "You're better off without him"

Remember when they said that I was never gonna make it

You said "it's yours and all you gotta do is go and take it"

Said I thank you I thank you

And I love you I love you

And I would never ever place no one above you

Said I thank you I thank you

And I love you I love you

And I would never ever place no one above you

See you have given me life and I just want you to know

That you're the reason

I'm here today I will never let go

To everything that we share and nothing can compare

Said I thank you I thank you

And I love you I love you

And I would never ever place no one above you

Said I thank you I thank you

And yes I love you I love you

And I would never ever place no one above you

See you have given me life and I just want you to know

That you're the reason

I'm here today I will never let go

To everything that we share and nothing can compare

I thank you I thank you I thank you

It's what I'm saying

Yeah yeah yeah

Ooh
