In a world of make believe   You can change all that you see   But in the world of reality   You've taught me all that I need      Time like a river flows   Twisting and turning all the way   Life is an endless road   You've been with me day by day      The only way I can thank you   Is to be the best that I can be   If we hold on together   Just you and me      A mother's love is forever   A mother's love is for free   It doesn't matter if you're good or bad   She's there for whatever you need      In the world of fantasy   Hold on to your dreams   Open up your heart and see   All the love you need is me      Time like a river flows   Twisting and turning all the way   Life is an endless road   You've been with me day by day      You are you and I am me   You've made me all that I am   Heart to heart and hand to hand   Always there to understand      A mother's love is forever   A mother's love is for free   It doesn't matter if you're good or bad   She's there for whatever you need      Doesn't matter if you're good or bad   There's nothing like a mother's love
