A song for my mother I wrote in 2001 one day before the 911 disaster.
Have I told you?
That you are my protector,
Who doesn't take a break.

Have I told you?
That you are there to correct me,
Whenever I make a mistake,
And I think you are very great.

Have I told you?
I admire what you've done for me,
And you always have a place in my heart.

Oh Mother! you're my very heart and soul,
Oh Mother! I'll love you until I grow old
Oh Mother! I'm sorry that I ever broke your sweet heart,
When you gave me a brand new start,
I was afraid to let go, and I was afraid to grow.

Have I thanked you?
For having me and my brother,
And the hardships you've endured
Are like no other.

Have I thanked you?
For giving us such a great life,
One that's been free of strife,

Oh Mother! You're my very heart and soul,
Oh Mother! I'll love you until I grow old,
Oh Mother! I'm sorry that I ever broke your sweet heart,
When you gave me a brand new start,
I was afraid to let go, and I was afraid to grow.

Have I told you?
I will not ever hurt you,
Have I told you?
I'm sorry I made you blue,
Have I told you?
that have such a brave heart
Ever since we met from the start.

Oh Mother! you're my very heart and soul,
Oh Mother! I'll love you until I grow old,
Oh Mother! I'm sorry that I broke your sweet heart
When you gave me a brand new start,
I was afraid to let go and I was afraid to grow.

Have I told you?
You are my best friend,
One I hope to keep until my end

Have I told you?
You are special to me,
And that you've made me so happy.
Have I told you?
that I love you until the end of time
and that you always will be mine.

Oh Mother! You're my very heart and soul,
Oh Mother! I'll love you until I grow old,
Oh Mother! I'm sorry that I ever broke your sweet heart,
When you gave me a brand new start,
I was afraid to let go, and I was afraid to grow.

Chorus ( repeat and fade )
