My Mother's Love ft. Eric Henry Andersen Lyrics

Red coat and smiling

Suede boots and soft leather gloves

Beside me

Forever my mother's love

Each season

Sweet memories I'll always keep

As I grew

In loving you helped me see

Beauty in the passing years

That impermanence is not to fear

How you long for

Your parents I never knew

But I feel them

Within me in all I do

Like fallen leaves that turn to soil and feed

Tulips that the spring time yields

And in perfect time and with grace you will pass on

Into love, into new life

And although I'll miss you I know now that I'll be fine

Our Fowler Lake

A safe place where we would walk

I told you

About my secret love

Sorry it took so long to say

But gracious all the while you stayed

So heavy your heart for your sons you would worry

But now we're safe here at your side

And never far now if you should need our light

For you we're light

Forever your light

In transcending

The unknown will give to light

Channeling those who came before

Shining on forever more

And in perfect time and with grace you will pass on

Into love, into new life

And although I'll miss you I know now that I'll be fine

And you'll be fine

And we'll be fine

Red coat and smiling

Suede boots and soft leather gloves

I'll always

Hold on to my mother's love

My mother's love
