Album: I'm Moving On And Other Country Hits Written by: Hank Snow MY MOTHER Hank Snow (You're just an angel and I love you) There are friends who'll want you but just for a day There are pals you'll think true but they'll cast you away But there's one loving soul boys I sure recommend Through this old world of sorrow she'll be true to the end Mother though her hands are all wrinkled and old Mother silver hair that has lost all the gold (You left her alone to roam through the years) (But all that you left her was heartaches and tears) So kiss her old brow whisper softly and true Mother you're just an angel and I love you On the door of a cottage a wreath sadly hung And the hearse stood there waiting as the choir softly sung There were flowers in their beauty and the old parson he prayed This was the last tribute as they left for her grave She won't meet you son when you crave her caress She has reared you to manhood and now you have laid her to rest Those flowers in their beauty I tell her there no more Cause tonight she's with the angels up around God's great throne So don't cry a lake son to try and repay Give those flowers and give those treasures give them today Let her know that you love her and kindly show her that you care Cause she's your mother God love her she's as true as a pray So kiss her old brow as softly and true Mother you're just an angel and I love you
