She's a sky that holds the clouds, She's the lady of the house,
A blind believer in all I dare to be There's no safer place I've found
Than the shoulder of her white nightgown Oh, I've got the best and the worst of her and me
And I'd share if I could So the wars would all be over
Cause she'd raise her sonless friends And no one would ever wonder
If somebody wanted them We'd walk on grass that's greener
And our cares would all be freer If the world had a mother like mine
She's our father's one great love She's the one he wanted most
She's the light in the window of the house I grew up in
She takes the midnight call She's the bravest of us all
Still she sings in the garden She lets her hair down in
Oh, the wars would all be over Cause she'd raise her sonless friends
And no one would ever wonder If somebody wanted them
Tonight would be easier And our dreams would all be deeper
If the world had a mother like mine
Don't go away, don't go away from me Oh, I understand she is a helping hand still
I have to say She's the sky that holds the clouds
She's the lady of our house We all need her, but no one more than me
Oh, the wars would all be over Cause she'd raise her sonless friends
And no one would ever wonder If somebody wanted them
We'd walk on grass that's greener And the dishes would all be cleaner
If the world had a mother like mine
Ooh, like mine
