Hadise • A Song for My Mother

Mother, mother, mother
This is for you

I still remember the day you said to me
"My baby, you can do whatever you wanna do
When you grow up, when you're up, baby"
And I still remember how you taught me so many things
From child to girl and from girl to boys
And that's how I started to know myself

I still can remember how we lived together
How you cared for me in times of misery
I'll always remember how you were my mentor
One day I hope to be
Just like the mother that you are for me
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Some days you were crying so much
You were so young and you did everything
All on your own, you were alone, yeah
And I thank you now 'cause you taught me so many things
From girl to woman and from woman to you
And you're there whenever I need your help

I still can remember how we lived together
How you cared for me in times of misery
I'll always remember how you were my mentor
One day I hope to be
Just like the mother that you are for me

Normally, in my life, I don't want the world to see me cry
But if I get emotional, that's because you are so special
And I don't care what people say
I'll live my live my very own way
Through wind and stormy weather
You'll always be my mother, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh yeah

I still can remember how we lived together
How you cared for me in times of misery
I'll always remember how you were my mentor
One day I hope to be
Just like the mother that you are for me
