THAT'S WHAT MOTHERS DO

May all your friends be true

Everything you do feel right

May all your morning windows

Be filled with sweet sunlight

May you always walk with pride

May you never stumble and fall

May every dream you want come true

I wish for it all

I know it's just a wish

And they sometimes don't come true

But that won't stop me wishing

'Cause that's what mothers do

May you smile and laugh each day

May there be tears that touch you too

And may all your troubles seem like things

That you can get through

And when you feel you're lost 

May a path appear

May you in your darkest hour know

That somewhere love is near

I know it's just a wish

And they sometimes don't come true

But that won't stop me wishing

'Cause that's what mothers do

I know that people can be cruel

I know that life's not always fair

And the odds are good you'll love someone

Who doesn't really care

But may you not love them for long

May they fade into the past

May it be the one you learn from

Before you find the one that lasts

I know it's just a wish

And they sometimes don't come true

But that won't stop me wishing

'Cause that's what mothers do

That's what mothers do
