Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
God has been so good, ooh
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 want to thank you for what you've done
In hopes I can give back to you and be the perfect son
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
You showed me how to love (You showed me how to love)
You showed me how to care (Showed me how to care)
You showed me that you would always be there (Always be there)
I want to thank you for that time
And I'm proud to say you're mine
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
'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
