A MOTHER’S TEARS NEVER DRY

(Lyrics & Music by Barry Hope)

Verse One:

Yesterday I met my daughter
It’s been too long since last time I saw her
Nothing compares to a mother’s tears
And all I could say after all these years

Chorus:

Was you don’t remember me
I can tell by that look in your eyes
You don’t remember me
Well I guess I’m hardly surprised
I wish you knew how I felt about you
I’m so proud of you it’s making me cry
I’ve imagined this moment so many times
A mother’s tears never dry

Verse Two:

Your father and I did not get along
I said goodbye when you were only one
But that doesn’t mean I did not love you
Not a minute has gone by when I’m not thinking of you

Chorus:

But you don’t remember me
I can tell by that look in your eyes
You don’t remember me
Well I guess I’m hardly surprised
I wish you knew how I felt about you
I’m so proud of you it’s making me cry
I’ve imagined this moment so many times
A mother’s tears never dry

Bridge:

I wish that I heard
Your very first word
I wish I was there
To watch your first step
I wish I could have read
You stories in bed
But I was not there
It’s my biggest regret

Chorus:

Still you don’t remember me
I can tell by that look in your eyes
No you don’t remember me
Well I guess I’m hardly surprised
I wish you knew how I felt about you
I’m so proud of you it’s making me cry
I’ve imagined this moment so many times
A mother’s tears never dry

I love you so much it hurts inside
A mother’s tears never dry
