I would never let a tear fall from your eyes, no, no no 
Cause everything you are to me, ohh I could never let you hurt inside 
You mean so much, and I'm so thankful that you're in my life 
And I appreciate your love and all your sacrifice 
Without you by my side, I never could survive 
I wouldn't be the woman standin' here before your eyes 

You taught me strength and you gave me guidance 
Whenever faith was lost, you were there to find it 
And all because a mother's love is unconditional 
With all my heart and all my soul, I wanna let you know 

That I thank you, and I love you 
And I would never place anyone above you 
Said I thank you, and I love you 
And I will never ever place no one above you 

You have given me life, and I just want you to know 
That you're the reason I'm here today 
I will never let go to everything that we share 
And nothing can compare 
I thank you, I thank you, I thank you, here's what I'm sayin' 

See, I've been blessed to be raised by a woman so strong 
Cause even when I did things wrong 
You would show me just the way that I should carry on 
You kept me safe, and you protected me with all you had 
And any time I was in need you gave your very last 
Without you by my side, I never could survive 
I wouldn't be the woman standing here before your eyes 

Ju taught me strength and, ju gave me guidance 
Whenever faith was lost, ju were there to find it 
And all because a mother's love is unconditional 
With all my heart, and all my soul, I wanna let you know 

That I thank you, and I love you 
And I would never place anyone above you 
Said I thank you, and I love you 
And I will never ever place no one above you 

You have given me life, and I just want you to know 
That you're the reason I'm here today 
I will never let go to everything that we share 
And nothing can compare 
I thank you, I thank you, I thank you, here's what I'm sayin' 

I remember wakin' up early monday morning 
With my new dress, and my new shoes, with the buckles on em 
And you would kiss my face, and say "I love you babe" 
And you would be right there to take all of my fear away 
And when he broke my heart, you said it was hist lost 
And not to think about, "you're better off without him" 
Remember when they said that I was never gonna make it 
You said "it's yours, and all you gotta do is go and take it" 

I thank you, and I love you 
And I would never place any above you 
Said I thank you, and I love you 
And I will never ever place no one above you 

See, you have given me life, and I just want you to know 
That you're the reason I'm here today 
I will never let go to everything that we share 
And nothing can compare 
I thank you, I thank you, I thank you, here's what I'm sayin' 

I thank you, and I love you 
And I would never ever place anyone above you 
Said I thank you, and I love you 
And I will never ever place no one above you 

See, you have given me life, and I just want you to know 
That you're the reason I'm here today 
I will never let go to everything that we share 
And nothing can compare 
I thank you, I thank you, I thank you, here's what I'm sayin' yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
