[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
