One mother, to love
Only one mother to cherish and love
One mother, to love
Only one mother to cherish and love
Millions of stars in the heavens above
But there, only one mother to cherish and love
Thousands of friends to think the world of
But there is, only one mother to cherish and love
Well you know, hundreds and hundreds, of birds in the trees
And you know thousands and thousands, of flowers and bees
Everything's multiplied over and over
Even the butterfly, fields and the clover
Stars in the heavens above, but there is
Only one mother to cherish and love
One mother, to love
Only one mother to cherish and love
One mother, to love
Only one mother to cherish and love
She rocked you, she cleaned you
Then she sang a little song, one mother
Only one mother to cherish and love
And when you sick she stayed up all night long, one mother
Only one mother to cherish and love
Well you know, hundreds and hundreds, of birds in the trees
And you know thousands and thousands, of flowers and bees
You know, everything's multiplied over and over
Even the butterfly, fields and the clover
Millions of stars in the heavens above
But there, only one mother to cherish and love
Only one mother, one mother, to love
Only one mother to cherish and love
One mother, to love
Only one mother to cherish and love
And she gave you food to eat
Place to sleep, breast to lay
And she made all of us a brighter day
