Lyrics

When I was young I had bad dreams
The bogeyman would come and make me scream
But then a voice would whisper - it's ok
I've come to chase that bogeyman away

My mother's hand would pat me on the head
And then her love would tuck me into bed

My teenage days did not go right
A broken heart on graduation night
I learned about betrayal and despair
But through it all her love was always there

A mother's love gives more than you could ever earn
A mother's love asks nothing in return

The years will make rings on a tree
And they leave their mark on you and me
Take the time to watch the flowers grow
Hold on to your love, don't let it go

So many things we have will fade away
A mother's love....will stay
