THE ALICE PROJECT: MP3's and lyrics

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

(THE ALICE PROJECT)
2007
Alice Leon and Jimmy Leahey
Just wanting to enjoy every minute with my son and knowing that being a Mom is an honor and a gift to cherish.
Oh Baby you arrived today, so tiny and perfect and squirming away.
And I hold you for the first time. You're so amazing now what can I say and we're rocking and rolling and getting no sleep. Tossing and turning trying to get you to eat. And I'm singing you love songs I'd forgotten for years. This is your day, but it's my day too.... Happy Mothers Day.
Come on in now it's getting dark. Why? cause I said so now don't be so smart. Then you're on my back and we're down on all fours and we're laughing and singing and sharing the chores. And there's heartaches and headaches and worries and pain along with the dancing and splashing in the rain. It's a lifetime that's full one that I'd never trade. If one thing is true, I simply love you and This is Mother's Day.
Oh and even when you're all grown this love will be my own. Through happy and sad, good times and bad. Now it's my turn, to watch your life unfurl, wind blowing through your golden curls.
I'm at your graduation, you're soon leaving home. It's all that I wanted, but I'm not ready at all. And you smile and say "Thanks Mom" and I'm flooded with tears. Seems like a day, not so many years and I called up my Mother and cried on the phone. Told her I'm sad and I feel all alone and she listened a while said..."you now understand", this is your day, and it's my day too...Happy Mothers Day... I said yeah..."Happy Mother's Day"....
