It's 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 passes by
 I don't 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 you hands
 'Cause Mom you always were
 The perfect fan

 God has been so good
 Blessing me with a family
 Who did all they could
 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 give back to you
 And be the perfect son

 CHORUS- repeat
 You showed me how to love
 You showed me how to care
 And you showed me that you would always be there
 I wanna thank you for that time
 And I'm proud to say you're mine

 CHORUS- repeat

 '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
