[Verse 1:] 

I would never let a tear fall from your eyes, no, no no 

Cause everything you are to me, ohh I could never let you hurt inside 

You mean so much, and I'm so thankful that you're in my life 

And I appreciate your love and all your sacrifice 

Without you by my side, I never could survive 

I wouldn't be the woman standin' here before your eyes 



[Pre-Chorus:] 

You taught me strength and you gave me guidance 

Whenever faith was lost, you were there to find it 

And all because a mother's love is unconditional 

With all my heart and all my soul, I wanna let you know 



[Chorus:] 

That I thank you, and I love you 

And I would never place anyone above you 

Said I thank you, and I love you 

And I will never ever place no one above you 



You have given me life, and I just want you to know 

That you're the reason I'm here today 

I will never let go to everything that we share 

And nothing can compare 

I thank you, I thank you, I thank you, here's what I'm sayin' 



[Verse 2:] 

See, I've been blessed to be raised by a woman so strong 

Cause even when I did things wrong 

You would show me just the way that I should carry on 

You kept me safe, and you protected me with all you had 

And any time I was in need you gave your very last 

Without you by my side, I never could survive 

I wouldn't be the woman standing here before your eyes 



[Pre-Chorus:] 

Ju taught me strength and, ju gave me guidance 

Whenever faith was lost, ju were there to find it 

And all because a mother's love is unconditional 

With all my heart, and all my soul, I wanna let you know 



[Chorus:] 

That I thank you, and I love you 

And I would never place anyone above you 

Said I thank you, and I love you 

And I will never ever place no one above you 



You have given me life, and I just want you to know 

That you're the reason I'm here today 

I will never let go to everything that we share 

And nothing can compare 

I thank you, I thank you, I thank you, here's what I'm sayin' 



[Bridge:] 

I remember wakin' up early monday morning 

With my new dress, and my new shoes, with the buckles on em 

And you would kiss my face, and say "I love you babe" 

And you would be right there to take all of my fear away 

And when he broke my heart, you said it was hist lost 

And not to think about, "you're better off without him" 

Remember when they said that I was never gonna make it 

You said "it's yours, and all you gotta do is go and take it" 



[Chorus:] 

I thank you, and I love you 

And I would never place any above you 

Said I thank you, and I love you 

And I will never ever place no one above you 



See, you have given me life, and I just want you to know 

That you're the reason I'm here today 

I will never let go to everything that we share 

And nothing can compare 

I thank you, I thank you, I thank you, here's what I'm sayin' 



I thank you, and I love you 

And I would never ever place anyone above you 

Said I thank you, and I love you 

And I will never ever place no one above you 



See, you have given me life, and I just want you to know 

That you're the reason I'm here today 

I will never let go to everything that we share 

And nothing can compare 

I thank you, I thank you, I thank you, here's what I'm sayin' yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
