Words and music by Henry McMahon and Jimmy Buckley. An Irish country music song about your mother and how she cared about you growing up and how you'll miss her when she's gone.The song was also recorded by Owen Mac who recorded God's Plan Song by country singer Derek Ryan also.
Every day I call my mother just to tell her that I love her
That's a thing I'm very proud to say
Cause I'm so glad to have her, to me she's like no other
She's the reason I'm the man you see today.
How her heart was filled with joy when she saw her little boy
The first time that she held me in her arms
And from that moment on she and dad were both the one's
Who cared for me and kept me from all harm.
[chorus]
So when you see your mother tell her that you love her
Hold her like you never wish to part
When this world it seems unfair she's the one who's always there
My mother means a kindness loving heart.
Since I've grown from boy to man I've come to understand
The love that lives within our mother's heart
That's why I call her everyday if I'm near or far away
For I know some day she and I must part.
So always hold her dear as you count each passing year
Say your sorry if you caused her pain and strife
And when it's your birthday just call her up and say
Thank you mom for giving me the gift of life
When this world it seems unfair she's the one who's always there
My mother means a kindness loving heart.
That's a thing I'm very proud to say
Cause I'm so glad to have her, to me she's like no other
She's the reason I'm the man you see today.
How her heart was filled with joy when she saw her little boy
The first time that she held me in her arms
And from that moment on she and dad were both the one's
Who cared for me and kept me from all harm.
[chorus]
So when you see your mother tell her that you love her
Hold her like you never wish to part
When this world it seems unfair she's the one who's always there
My mother means a kindness loving heart.
Since I've grown from boy to man I've come to understand
The love that lives within our mother's heart
That's why I call her everyday if I'm near or far away
For I know some day she and I must part.
So always hold her dear as you count each passing year
Say your sorry if you caused her pain and strife
And when it's your birthday just call her up and say
Thank you mom for giving me the gift of life
When this world it seems unfair she's the one who's always there
My mother means a kindness loving heart.
