Mama Liked The Roses - Elvis Presley
Oh, mama liked the roses she grew them in the yard But Winter always came around and made the growing way too hard Oh, mama liked the roses and when she had the time She'd decorate the living room, for all us kids to see
When I hear the Sunday bells ringing in the morning I remember crying when she used to sing Oh, mama liked the roses but most of all she cared About the way we learned to live And if we said our prayers
You know I kept the family bible With a rose that she saved inside It was pressed between the pages Like it had found a place to hide
Oh, mama liked the roses in such a special way We bring them every Mother's Day And put them on her grave Oh, mama liked the roses Mmmm Mama liked the roses

The Perfect Fan – Backstreet Boys
It takes a lot to know what is love It's not the big things but the little things That can mean enough A lot of prayers to get me through And there is never a day that passes by I don't think of you You were always there for me Pushing me and guiding me Always to succeed
You showed me When I was young just how to grow You showed me Everything that I should know You showed me Just how to walk without your hands 'Cause mom you always were The perfect fan
God has been so good Blessing me with a family Who did all they could And I've had many years of grace And it flatters me when I see a smile on your face I wanna thank you for what you've done In hopes I can give back to you And be the perfect son
You showed me When I was young just how to grow You showed me Everything that I should know You showed me Just how to walk without your hands 'Cause mom you always were The perfect fan
You showed me how to love You showed me how to care You showed me how to love You showed me how to care And you showed me that you would always be there I wanna thank you for that time And I'm proud to say you're mine
You showed me When I was young just how to grow You showed me Everything that I should know You showed me Just how to walk without your hands 'Cause mom you always were The perfect fan
'Cause mom you always were Mom you always were Mom you always were You know you always were 'Cause mom you always were The perfect fan
I love you mom

Any Man Who Loves His Mother – Dean Martin from Robin & the 7 Hoods
Any man who loves his mother Is man enough for me Brightening her eyes, sending her flowers Though it's no anniversary
Many men want fame and fortune It's gold they love to see But I say a man who loves his mother Is man enough for me
Many men loves dogs and kittens and pet them constantly Show me a man who loves his mother As much as she wants to be And I'll show you a man who's a lot like me

Thank You, Mom - Good Charlotte
I'm sitting here I'm thinking back to a time when I was young My memory is clear as day I'm listening to the dishes clink You were downstairs you would sing songs of praise And all the times we laughed with you And all the times that you stayed true to us
Now we'll say, I said I thank you I'll always thank you More than you would know Than I could ever show And I love you I'll always love you There's nothing I won't do to say these words to you That you're beautiful forever
Always, Always and forever
you were my mom, you were my dad The only thing I ever had was you, it's true And even when the times got hard you were there To let us know that we'd get through you showed me how to be a man You taught me how to understand the things people do You showed me how to love my God You taught me that not everyone knows the truth
And I thank you I'll always thank you More than you would know Than I could ever show And I love you I'll always love you There's nothing I won't do to say these words to you That you will live forever
Forever and ever [x2]
[x2:] I said I thank you I'll always thank you More than you would know Than I could ever show And I love you I'll always love you There's nothing I won't do to say these words to you
That you will live forever

Tell Mama -Etta James
You thought you had found a good girl One to love you and give you the world Now you find that you've been misused Talk to me, I'll do what you choose, I want you to
Tell Mama all about it Tell Mama what you need Tell Mama what you want And I'll make everything alright
That girl you had didn't have no sense She wasn't worth all the time that you spent She had another man throw you outdoors Now the same man is wearing your clothes, I want you to
Tell Mama all about it Tell Mama what you need Tell Mama what you want And I'll make everything alright
Tell me, tell me now
She would embarrass you anywhere She'd let everybody know she didn't care Give me a chance I've been beggin' you And I just want to take care of you, I want you to
Tell Mama all about it Tell Mama what you need
Tell Mama what you want Tell Mama what you want right now
Tell me, tell your mom I'm your Mama Tell me what you want

Mama – BJ Thomas
Who's the one who tied your shoe when you were young And knew just when to come and see what you had done? Mama, oh mama And who's the one who patched your eye and told you not to cry 'cause he was too big for you to try? Mama, ma-a-ma
And who's the one you didn't need to plead To give her time to the little league? It was mama, oh, ma-a-a-ma-a-a And who's the one who gave her shoulder When you told her your first love was over she'd met someone older Mama, mama
It was mama, my ma-a-a-ma-a-a
Ma-a-ma, oh ma-a-ma
Who's the one who taught you obligation then dedication result graduation? Mama, mama And who's the one who's shown the friends you've known A home away from home when they were tired and all alone? Mama, mama
And who's the one who held a tear inside When you introduced your future bride? And who's the one who didn't mean to cry As you walked down the aisle, the tears you saw her smile Mama, oh, mama Ma-a-m-a-a, my ma-a-ma-a It was ma-a-m-a-a

The Best Day – Taylor Swift
I'm five years old, it's getting cold, I've got my big coat on I hear your laugh and look up smiling at you, I run and run Past the pumpkin patch and the tractor rides, look now, the sky is gold
I hug your legs and fall asleep on the way home
I don't know why all the trees change in the fall I know you're not scared of anything at all Don't know if Snow White's house is near or far away But I know I had the best day with you today
I'm thirteen now and don't know how my friends could be so mean I come home crying and you hold me tight and grab the keys And we drive and drive till we found a town far enough away And we talk and window shop until I forgot all their names
I don't know who I'm gonna talk to now at school But I know I'm laughing on the car ride home with you Don't know how long it's gonna take to feel okay But I know I had the best day with you today
I have an excellent father, his strength is making me stronger God smiles on my little brother, inside and out, he's better than I am I grew up in a pretty house and I had space to run And I had the best days with you
There is a video I found from back when I was three You set up a paint set in the kitchen and you're talking to me It's the age of princesses and pirate ships and the seven dwarfs And Daddy's smart and you're the prettiest lady in the whole wide world
Now I know why all the trees change in the fall I know you were on my side even when I was wrong And I love you for giving me your eyes For staying back and watching me shine And I didn't know if you knew, so I'm taking this chance to say That I had the best day with you today

Father's Eyes - Amy Grant
I may not be every mother's dream for her little girl And my face may not grace the mind of everyone in the world But that's all right as long as I can have one wish I pray When people look inside my life, I want to hear them say
[Chorus:] She's got her Father's eyes, her Father's eyes Eyes that find the good in things When good is not around Eyes that find the source of help When help just can't be found Eyes full of compassion, seeing every pain Knowin' what you're going through, and feeling it the same Just like my Father's eyes My Father's eyes My Father's eyes Just like my Father's eyes
And on that day when we will pay for all the deeds we have done Good and bad they'll all be had to see by everyone And when you're called to stand and tell just what you saw in me More than anything I know, I want your words to be
[Chorus] She's got her Father's eyes, her Father's eyes Eyes that find the good in things When good is not around Eyes that find the source of help When help just can't be found Eyes full of compassion, seeing every pain Knowin' what you're going through, and feeling it the same Just like my Father's eyes My Father's eyes My Father's eyes Just like my Father's eyes

Dance With My Father - Luther Vandross
Back when I was a child Before life removed all the innocence My father would lift me high And dance with my mother and me and then Spin me around til' I fell asleep Then up the stairs he would carry me And I knew for sure I was loved
If I could get another chance Another walk, another dance with him I'd play a song that would never ever end How I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again, ooh
When I and my mother would disagree To get my way I would run from her to him He'd make me laugh just to comfort me, yeah yeah Then finally make me do just what my momma said Later that night when I was asleep He left a dollar under my sheet Never dreamed that he would be gone from me
If I could steal one final glance, one final step One final dance with him I'd play a song that would never ever end 'Cause I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door And I'd hear how my mother cried for him I pray for her even more than me I pray for her even more than me
I know I'm praying for much too much But could you send back the only man she loved? I know you don't do it usually But dear Lord she's dying to dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream

Oh My Papa - Eddie Fisher
Oh, my Papa, to me he was so wonderful Oh, my Papa, to me he was so good No one could be so gentle and so lovable Oh, my Papa, he always understood
Gone are the days When he would take me on his knee And with a smile He changed my tears to laughter
Oh, my Papa, so funny, so adorable Always the clown, I love him so today
Gone are the days When he would take me on his knee And with a smile He changed my tears to laughter
Oh, my Papa, so funny, so adorable Deep in my heart I miss him so today Oh, my Papa, oh, my Papa

My Dad - Paul Petersen clip from The Donna Reed Show (1962)
He isn't much in the eyes of the world He'll never make history No, he isn't much in the eyes of the world But he is the world to me
My dad, now here is a man To me he is everything strong No, he can't do wrong, my dad
My dad, now he understands When I bring him troubles to share Oh, he's always there, my dad
When I was small I felt ten feet tall When I walked by his side And everyone would say "That's his son" And my heart would burst with pride
My dad, oh I love him so And I only hope that some day My own son will say "My dad now here is a man"

Father & Son - Cat Stevens
Father It's not time to make a change, Just relax, take it easy. You're still young, that's your fault, There's so much you have to know. Find a girl, settle down, If you want you can marry. Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy, To be calm when you've found something going on. But take your time, think a lot, Why, think of everything you've got. For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.
Son How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again. It's always been the same, same old story. From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen. Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away. I know I have to go.
Father It's not time to make a change, Just sit down, take it slowly. You're still young, that's your fault, There's so much you have to go through. Find a girl, settle down, If you want you can marry. Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy. Son, away away away, I know I have to
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside, It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it. If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them you know not me. Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away. I know I have to go. Father, stay stay stay, why must you go and Make this decision alone?

Father and Daughter – Paul Simon
If you leap awake in the mirror of a bad dream And for a fraction of a second you can't remember where you are Just open your window and follow your memory upstream To the meadow in the mountain where we counted every falling star
I believe a light that shines on you will shine on you forever And though I can't guarantee there's nothing scary hiding under your bed I'm gonna stand guard like a postcard of a Golden Retriever And never leave 'til I leave you with a sweet dream in your head
[Chorus:] I'm gonna watch you shine Gonna watch you grow Gonna paint a sign So you'll always know As long as one and one is two There could never be a father Who loved his daughter more than I love you
Trust your intuition It's just like goin' fishin' You cast your line and hope you get a bite But you don't need to waste your time Worryin' about the market place Try to help the human race Struggling to survive its harshest night
[Chorus 2x]

Butterfly Kisses - Bob Carlisle
There's two things I know for sure: She was sent here from heaven and she's daddy's little girl. As I drop to my knees by her bed at night She talks to Jesus and I close my eyes and I thank god for all of the joy in my life Oh, but most of all
For butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer; sticking little white flowers all up in her hair; "Walk beside the pony, Daddy, it's my first ride." "I know the cake looks funny, Daddy, but I sure tried." Oh, with all that I've done wrong, I must have done something right To deserve a hug every morning And butterfly kisses at night.
Sweet 16 today She's looking like her mama a little more everyday One part woman, the other part girl. To perfume and make-up from ribbons and curls Trying her wings out in a great big world. But I remember.....
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer; sticking little white flowers all up in her hair. "You know how much I love you, Daddy, But if you don't mind I'm only gonna kiss you on the cheek this time." Oh with all that I've done wrong I must have done something right to deserve her love every morning and butterfly kisses at night.
All the precious time Like the wind, the years go by. Precious butterfly. Spread your wings and fly.
She'll change her name today. She'll make a promise and I'll give her away. Standing in the bride-room just staring at her. She asked me what I'm thinking and I said "I'm not sure-I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl." She leaned over
Gave me butterfly kisses with her mama there, Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair "Walk me down the aisle, Daddy-it's just about time." "Does my wedding gown look pretty, Daddy? Daddy, don't cry" Oh, with all that I've done wrong I must have done something right. To deserve her love every morning and butterfly kisses
I couldn't ask God for more, man this is what love is. I know I gotta let her go, but I'll always remember Every hug in the morning and butterfly kisses...
