Ryan Leslie - Mother

"Mother" (Ryan Leslie)

Allow me to congratulate you on your day
I hope you find some eloquence in what I say

'Cause I am your child
And I live for your smile
And I'm thankful in so many ways

'Cause you were always there to walk me down the road
And when I needed you'd extend a hand for me to hold
You would always wipe the sadness from my eyes
So the reason why I love you comes as no surprise

You were there to lift me up
When my world fell down
You would always know the words to say
You gave the kind of love I can't repay

...but I can say
Mother, Mother, I love you
Mother, I really do
