The ToneWay® Project: helping people play music


There's No One Like Mother to Me

Sadly I'm thinking to- 4 night
1 Thinking of days long gone 5 by
1 Memories of childhood so 4 bright
Come 1 back as a 5 dream with a 1 sigh

I'm thinking of friends and of home
In that cottage far over the sea
Oh no matter wherever I roam
There's no one like mother to me

Chorus
There's 4 no one like mother to 1 me
No matter how poor she may 5 be
I'll go 1 back to that home o'er the 4 sea
There's 1 no one like 5 mother to 1 me

When I left that old home o'er the sea
Kissed them goodbye at the gate
Somebody whispered to me
A gentle voice asked me to wait

Her blessing she gave with a kiss
And tears on her cheeks I could see
Oh how often that sweet face I've missed
There's no one like mother to me
