Tom Paxton - Mother lyrics
[Tom Paxton - Mother lyrics]
Do you ever wonder, Mother
What became of me?
As I wonder, Mother, what became of you
Now your child's become a woman
In her own right
And she'd like you to know, wherever you are
That she loves you
I'll be honest with you, Mother
That it took some time
Till I came to see the
Pain you must have known
When they took your child
It must have felt like dying
But I'd like you know, wherever you are
That I love you
Now your child's a mother three times over
God knows that she loves those children so
Feeling them beside me now
I really can't imagine how
You found the strength to let your baby go
How I'd love to see you, Mother
Just to let you know
That the mom and dad who raised me
Raised me well and I love them more for
Knowing that they chose me
But I want you to know, wherever you are
That I love you
Now your child's a mother three times over
God knows that she loves those children so
Feeling them beside me now
I really can't imagine how
You found the strength to let your baby go
Yes, your child's mother now
She has a family
And she treasures them the way
She does her life
And she couldn't love them more
If she had borne them
And we want you know, wherever you are
That we love you
No, I couldn't love them more
If I had borne them
And we want you know, wherever you are
That we love you
What became of me?
As I wonder, Mother, what became of you
Now your child's become a woman
In her own right
And she'd like you to know, wherever you are
That she loves you
I'll be honest with you, Mother
That it took some time
Till I came to see the
Pain you must have known
When they took your child
It must have felt like dying
But I'd like you know, wherever you are
That I love you
Now your child's a mother three times over
God knows that she loves those children so
Feeling them beside me now
I really can't imagine how
You found the strength to let your baby go
How I'd love to see you, Mother
Just to let you know
That the mom and dad who raised me
Raised me well and I love them more for
Knowing that they chose me
But I want you to know, wherever you are
That I love you
Now your child's a mother three times over
God knows that she loves those children so
Feeling them beside me now
I really can't imagine how
You found the strength to let your baby go
Yes, your child's mother now
She has a family
And she treasures them the way
She does her life
And she couldn't love them more
If she had borne them
And we want you know, wherever you are
That we love you
No, I couldn't love them more
If I had borne them
And we want you know, wherever you are
That we love you
