Another Word For Love
words and music by Dave Martin
performed by Dave Martin
Mother is another word for love.
Mother means sacrifice and caring,
Mother means selfless and strong.
A mother’s someone to lean on who knows right from wrong.
Mother is another word for love.

And a mother can be family or a friend.
A mother wants to know where you are
and she cares where you’ve been.
She’s a confidant and a helping hand,
But a mother can be family or a friend.

Sometimes mothers are tough, 
sometimes mothers are cool,
But they always  remind you 
when your acting a fool.
They cherish the laughter 
And the sad times too.
And you miss her when she’s gone,
But not as much as when she misses you.
A mother cares and she’ll tell you so,
A mother keeps you in her prayers,
and she might say, or just let it show.
A mother holds you in her heart and she never lets go.
A mother cares and she’ll tell you so.
Every woman you meet has been a mother
To her own or to someone else’s kid.
Because we all need more 
Than what our parents can give,
Every woman you meet has been a mother.
So, Let’s hear it for our moms,
and all our other moms too!
our Sisters and our teachers, friends and
Grandmas, aunts and everyone who
showed us selfless love,
and cared our whole lives through.

To every woman, 
happy mother’s day to you!
