And there is never a day that passes by
I don't think of you
You were always there for me
Pushing me and (hiding /guiding) me

You showed me
When I was young just how to (grow / blow)
You showed me
Everything that I should know
You showed me
Just how to (talk / walk) without your hands
'Cos mom you always were
The perfect fan
God has been so good
Blessing me with a family
Who did all they (could / should)
And I've had many years of grace
And it flatters me when I see a smile on your face
I wanna thank you for what you've done
In hopes I can (live /give) back to you
And be the perfect son
[Chorus]
You showed me how to love
You showed me how to (share / care)
And you showed me that you would always be there
I wanna thank you for that time
And I'm (loud / proud) to say you're mine
