Lyric of the Week

Because this song was written by two brothers for their mom who raised them without their dad around there are a couple of lines in the song that are pertinent to my situation. However their love and caring for their mother is very evident.

Mom, because your one of the two people that actually read this blog I know you'll get this message:

I love you mom. You taught me how to love and care. You taught me kindness and respect. You taught me hard work. You made me into the man I am today (I hope you take that as the compliment it was intended) .

"Always, always and forever

I'm sitting here
I'm thinking back to a time when I was young
My memory is clear as day
I'm listening to the dishes clink
You were downstairs you would sing
Songs of praise
And all the times we laughed with you
And all the times that you stayed true to us

Now we'll say thank you
I'll always thank you
More than you could know
Than I could ever show
And I love you
I'll always love you
There's nothing I won't do
To say these word to you
That you're beautiful forever

Always, always and forever

You were my mom, you were my dad
The only thing I ever had was you, it's true
And even when the times got hard
You were there to let us know that we'd get through
You showed me how to be a man
You taught me how to understand
The things people do
You showed me how to love my God
You taught me that not everyone knows the truth

And I thank you
I'll always thank you
More than you could know
Than I could ever show
And I love you
I'll always love you
There's nothing I won't do
To say these words to you
That you will live forever

Forever and ever"

*NOTE: The recording I have of this song is from their album and is actually a secret song that plays after the last track. Because my audio editing skills are not up to par, I simply uploaded the entire file, so this week you get two-for-one on songs. Fast forward to the 4:43 mark where the Thank You Mom song begins.

Song: Thank You Mom

Album: Good Charlotte (2000)
