It takes a lot to know what is love
      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 your 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
