Mother, Sweet Mother
Mother, why are you sad?
I see you wipe a tear
Mother, tell me, dear mother
Tell me what you fear.
I'll hold you in a tight embrace
And never let you go
I'll wash away your pain with my tears
Sweet mother, I love you so.
Mother, you gave me the sweetest love
Sweeter than life to me
Love sweeter than heaven above
Sweet mother, you gave to me
Mother, to see you look so sad
My heart aches in pain
Mother look my tears are falling
Falling fast as rain.
You sheltered me from Life's storms
When the storms were raging
You are my anchor mother dear
Battles for me you were waging.
What's stolen your happiness?
Do tell me mother dear
Mother, my heart's breaking
Mother draw me close and near.
My heart's heavy with deep sorrow
Mother your pain breaks my heart
Sweet mother, I will always love you
Mother, as you did from the start.
I know father's gone to war
Mother, is that your sorrow?
Mother, I am always by your side
Yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Mother, you don't speak a word
Your hands are cold as ice
Mother, wake up sweet mother dear
Just look into my eyes.
Look father's just back from war
Wake up sweet mother dear
Mother, you don't hear me, do you?
My heart's filled with fear.
Mother, my heart's filled with tears
Mother, can you feel my heart?
Sweet mother, I'll always love you
Mother, as you did from the start.
