Mom and Dad were reading in the den Mom said, "I'm gonna go to bed, it's late" She went to the kitchen to make three school lunches Another night in a mother's day Put the cereal bowls out for breakfast Set the coffeemaker for 6 a.m. Sewed a loose button on brother's shirt for him
Checked sister's math homework, sent a note to the teacher Added eggs to the grocery list Started a load of wash, made sure the doors were locked Put water in the puppy's dish Wrote a check to the children's piano teacher Turned the dishwasher on And Dad called out, "Honey, what's takin' you so long?"
Have I ever thanked you For everything you've done? Now all that I can say is "I love you, Mom"
Hung some art on the refrigerator door And headed up the stairs Kissed all the children and helped sister comb Her wavy golden hair Washed her make-up off and turned on the bath Lay down in the moon's soft light and kissed Dad goodnight
Have I ever thanked you For everything you've done? Now all that I can say is "I love you, Mom"
Thank you for nursin' me Through all those colds and fevers Thank you for believin' in me When they were no other believers
And it's never too late to say "I love you, Mom"
