It's just a mother's way

To worry through the day

'Bout every little thing

Like falling off a swing

When you are out at play

The years slide quickly by

The Summers seem to fly

And then you move along

You break out on your own

But you don't see her cry

For a while she hides behind a smile

But then her eyes reveal

She worries still today

Take her hand

Show her you understand

A little tenderness will go a long long way

And now the years have flown

She's sitting all alone

With all her photographs and memories of thepast

She's glad when you come home

For a while she hides behind a smile

But then her eyes reveal

She worries still today

Take her hand

Show her you understand

A little tenderness will go a long long way

For a while she hides behind a smile

But then her eyes reveal

She worries still today

Take her hand

Show her you understand

A little tenderness will go a long long way

A little tenderness will go a long long way
