There's No One Like Mother To Me

 

 

Sadly I’m thinking tonight

Thinking of the sweet bye and bye

Memories of childhood so bright

Come back like a dream with a sigh

I’ve been thinking of friends and of home

In that cottage far over the sea

No matter wherever I roam

There’s no one like mother to me

 

    There’s no one like mother to me

    No matter how poor she may be

    I’ll go back to that home o’er the sea

    There’s no one like mother to me

 

When I left that old home o’er the sea

I kissed them goodbye at the gate

Somebody whispered to me

A loving voice asked me to wait

Her blessing she gave with a smile

And tears on her cheeks I could see

How often that sweet face I’ve missed

There’s no one like mother to me
