When I'm feeling down and find myself in trouble sick and tired of all the daily cares when I'm close to tears with bringing up the children I recall the days when I was young
And then I say this little prayer looking at your picture standing there
Mother this is me, I have to say "I'm sorry" for all the moments that I broke your heart Mother, now I see what you've been going through and that I am so much, so much like you
Different points of view and other moral senses bandied words, you solved it all so well Now I follow you, it's not a bed of roses many times I felt I was in hell
But then I said this little prayer looking at your picture standing there
Mother this is me, I have to say "I'm sorry" for all the moments that I broke your heart Mother, now I see what you've been going through and that I am so much, so much like you
I wished that you were here again to talk about it all 'cause now I need your wisdom most of all
Mother this is me, I have to say "I'm sorry" for all the moments that I broke your heart Mother, now I see what you've been going through and that I am so much, so much like you (Oh mother don't you know? I miss you so)
