Hank Snow - My Mother Lyrics


Hank Snow Lyrics

My Mother Lyrics
(You're just an angel and I love you)

There are friends who'll want you but just for a day

There are pals you think true but they'll cast you away

But there's one loving soul boys I'll sure recommend

Through this old world of sorrow she'll be true till the end

Mother though her hands are all wrinkled and old

Mother silver hair that has lost all the gold

(You left her alone went to roam through the years

But all that you left her were heartaches and tears)

So kiss her old brow whisper softly and true

Mother you're just an angel and I love you



On the door of a cottage a wreath sadly hung

And a hearse stood there awaiting as the choir softly sung

There were flowers in their beauy and the old Parson he prayed

This was the last tribute as we left for her grave

She won't meet you tonight son when you crave her caress

She has reared you to manhood and now you've laid her to rest

Those flowers in their beauty ah to her they're unknown

Cause tonight she's with the angels up around God's great throne

So don't wait that late son to try and repay

Give those flowers and give those treasures but give them today

Let her know that you love her and kinda show that you care

Cause she's your mother God love her she's as true as a prayer

So kiss her old brow whisper softly and true

Mother you're just an angel and I love you
