Lyrics

Dear Mother
words and music by Anthony Russell

Dear Mother, How I miss you .. how?s it goin? there in Heaven above?
Dear Mother, yeah, I?m still writing and I?m sending all of my love
I loved you more than words could say, thank you for the magical childhood days
Heartbreak comes and goes but love lives on

Dear Mother, in my life you were the rock, sure, dependable one
Dear Mother, there was no other with your cool calm & collected wisdom
We saw the smiling faces sigh; thinking they were smarter than you and I
It hurt and it sometimes showed, then life goes on

These memories take me home again
Light up the past like a dream
Memories silver and golden
Burn so bright they live inside of me

Sunlight falling on a new day dawning
And I hear you calling me I run upstairs to be
Alone with you for just a few brief moments in the day ...
Pink room glowing with your warm smile knowing it?s the time
For showing me the world outside
And not pretending life has happy endings for ever and a day

Dear Mother, one way or another you got all the important things done
Yeah Mother, God bless you forever, may your whole world smile in the sun
I loved you more than words could say, thank you for the magical childhood days
Heartbreak comes and goes but love lives on

These memories take me home again
Light up the past like a dream
Memories silver and golden
Burn so bright they live inside of me
