献给妈妈的歌
你教会我所有的东西,
你给我的一切
我都会珍藏在内心深处。
你是我生命的动力。
如果没有你
就没有今天的一切。
如果你不在我身边,
一切都不对劲。
你爱我,关心我,
当天空乌云密布的时候。
当我失意的时候,
你总是在那里
给我安慰。
在我生命中,
没有人能取代你的地位。
你永远是
我生命中
最重要的女人。
妈妈
你知道我爱你。
妈妈
你是我心中最重要的女人。
你的爱就像
星星眼泪那样珍贵。
妈妈,我只想让你知道,
爱你就像爱生命。
你总是在那里为我守候,
在我最糟糕的时候
支持我。
你告诉我是非对错。
你鼓励我
当所有人看低我的时候。
你总是理解我,
你给我继续下去的勇气。
很多时候,回首往事,
当我内心恐惧的时候,
你就会来到我身边,
对我说,
我能战胜一切。
没有人能做到
你为我做的一切。
你永远是
我生命中最重要的女人。
不想过一天没有你的日子,
想起你就感觉生命不再空虚。
妈妈会陪伴着我度过每一天。
