Lyrics
VERSE
Her days begin early before the sunrise
Making biscuits and baking our favorite pies
A lunch sack in one hand and a kiss on the cheek
She'd wave till the schoolbus left the end of our street
At the end of a long day right around four
She was waiting to greet them when they walked thru the door
With a smile and a hug and a how was your day
She would whisper Thank You Lord for keepin' them safe.
CHORUS
Beautiful You - you're always there
With loving arms to hold and to care
Never complainin' bout the work to be done
Making each day special and fun
Beautiful You - you cared so much
Kind gentle words - a warm soft touch
They call you Mom - I call you mine
Beautiful You.
VERSE
Now the kids are all grown up
married and gone
She sits in her favorite chair holding the phone
Looking thru pictures - memories of fun
Waiting to talk to one of her special ones.
When the phone finally rings and it's getting late
With a smile on her face she ask "how was your day?"
As she listens to details - finds all is o.k.
She whispers Thank You Lord for keepin them safe.
