A Mother Like You

[00:00.23] You gave me a drawer in your kitchen

[00:03.38] You gave me the room with a view of the yard

[00:10.20] Whatever the hurt, you knew right where to kiss it

[00:15.46] You gave me the best of your heart

[00:19.35] And you carried my rocks in your pocket

[00:24.85] Flowers and feathers and butterfly wings

[00:31.41] You had an answer for all of my questions

[00:36.71] You showed me wonderful things

[00:40.61] I know that it hasn't been easy

[00:47.74] I hope that I love like you do

[00:52.20] 'Cause I know that this world would be better

[00:58.00] If everyone had a mother like you

[01:03.01] You make the best macaroni

[01:16.67] We never cared that it came from a box

[01:22.63] The mom in the stands always clappin' her hands

[01:28.17] Started cheering and still haven't stopped

[01:32.10] And you held me when I came home cryin'

[01:37.89] 'Cause someone said somethin' that just wasn't true

[01:44.21] I always said that Janelle was my best friend

[01:49.71] But really it's always been you

[01:53.34] I know that I haven't been easy

[02:00.39] I hope that I love like you do

[02:05.24] 'Cause I know that this world would be better

[02:10.88] If everyone had a mother like you

[02:19.31] Mother like you

[02:23.82] Our second was born in September

[02:39.82] I still can't believe I have kids of my own

[02:46.65] I look in their eyes and I can't help but wonder

[02:52.39] Who will they be when they're grown?

[02:56.55] I know it won't always be easy

[03:03.03] I hope I can love like you do

[03:07.72] 'Cause I know that my kids will be better

[03:13.47] If they have a mother like you

[03:16.87] If I am a mother like you

[03:24.22] 'Cause I had a mother like you
