Lyrics
A MOTHER?S WORK IS NEVER DONE
(Linda Finkle c 2002)
Six o?clock alarm rings, get the breakfasts, then the lunches
Then the clothes and other things that they need for their day today
Kiss goodbye, they?re on the bus, he?s off to work, sit awhile
And think about the things that you?ve got to do today
She?s the center of each family, the one that makes sure everybody has just
What they need to be as happy as can be
Sometimes we forget about her ?cause she?s always there and we just figure
That she?ll always be around
A mother?s work is never done
You think you?re through you?ve just begun
To wipe away the tears, and the fears, and the hurt inside
Each night your mother prays for you
Your health and safety that?s why you
Can?t forget to call her just to tell her you?re okay
Clean the house and wash their clothes, take the dog out for a walk
Call the doctor ?cause you?re not sure why they woke last night
Bring the car in, cook their dinner, get the school supplies
For their homework that you help them with each night
She?s the center of each family?
A mother?s work is never done?
So call her now while there?s still time
Just shoot the breeze a little while
?Cause one day you?ll remember how it was
When mom was there
Yes, one day you?ll remember how it felt when she was there?
