Lyrics
It’s a beautiful world, full of beautiful things
The flower that blossoms, the songbird that sings
The river that ripples, the sun in the sky
The cold of December, the warmth of July
All wonderful things sent to us from above
But the best gift of all is Mother Love
Chorus
Your mother was she ever wrong
My mother made life just a song
When you were a kid
Where, did you want to be
Don’t answer, I’ll tell you
On your mother’s knee
Your mother and my mother, too
Were angels whose hearts were a shrine
And the one up above
sent His message of love
Through your mother and mine
