It's just a mother's way to worry through the day
Bout every little thing like falling off a swing
When you are out at play
The years slide quickly by the summers seem to fly
And then you move along you break out on your own
But you don't see her cry
For a while she hides behind a smile
But then her eyes reveal she worries still today
Take her hand show her you understand
A little tenderness will go a long long way
And now the years have flown she's sitting all alone
With all her photographs and memories of the past
She's glad when you come home
For a while she hides behind a smile
But then her eyes reveal she worries still today
Take her hand show her you understand
A little tenderness will go a long long way
For a while she hides behind a smile
But then her eyes reveal she worries still today
Take her hand show her you understand
A little tenderness will go a long long way
A little tenderness will go a long long way
