It takes a lot to know what is love It's not the big things butthe little thing That can mean enough A lot of prayers to get me through And there is never a day that passes by I don't think of you You were always there for me Pushing me and guiding me Always to succeed CHORUS You showed me When I was young just how to grow You showed me Everything that I should know You showed me Just how to walk without your hands 'Cause mom you always were The perfect fan God has been so good Blessing me with a family Who did all they could And I've had many years of grace And it flatters me when I see a smile on your face I wanna thank you for what you've done In hopes I can give back to you And be the perfect song CHORUS-repeat You showed me how to love You showed me how to care You showed me that you would always be there I wanna thank you for that time And I'm proud to say you're mine CHORUS-repeat 'Cause Mom you always were, Mom you always were Mom you always were, you know you always were 'Cause Mom you always were...the perfect fan I love you Mom
