Mother

Do you ever wonder, Mother, what became of me,
As I wonder, Mother, what became of you?
Now your child's become a woman in her own right.
And she'd like you to know, wherever you are, that she loves you.

I'll be honest with you, Mother, that it took some time
Till I came to know the pain you must have known.
When they took your child, it must have felt like dying.
But I'd like you to know, wherever you are, that I love you.

Now your child's a mother three times over.
God knows how she loves those children so!
Feeling them beside me now,
I really can't imagine how
You found the strength to let your baby go.

How I'd love to see you, Mother, just to let you know
That the mom and dad who raised me raised me well.
And I love them more for knowing that they chose me.
But I want you to know, wherever you are, that I love you.

Now your child's a mother three times over.
God knows that she loves those children so!
Feeling them beside me now,
I really can't imagine how
You found the strength to let your baby go.

Yes, your child's a mother now. She has a family.
And she treasures them the way she does her life.
And she couldn't love them more if she had borne them.
And we want you to know, wherever you are, that we love you.

No, I couldn't love them more if I had borne them.
And we want you to know, wherever you are, that we love you.
