[Verse 1] It takes a lot to know what is love It is not the big things, but the little things That can mean enough A lot of prayers to get me through And there is never a day that pa**es by I do not think of you You were always there for me Pushing me and guiding me Always to succeed [Chorus:] You showed me When I was young just how to grow You showed me Everything that I should know You showed me Just how to walk without your hands Cause mom you always were The perfect fan [Verse 2] God has been so good Blessing me with a family Who did all they could And I have had many years of grace And it flatters me when I see a smile on your face I want to thank you for what you have done In hopes I can give back to you And be the perfect son [Chorus] [Verse 3] You showed me how to love You showed me how to care And you showed me that you would always be there I want to thank you for that time And I am proud to say you are mine [Chorus] [Outro] Cause mom you always were Mom you always were Mom you always were You know you always were Cause mom you always were... the perfect fan I love you Mom
