It takes a lot to know what is love
  It's not the big things, but the little things
  That can mean enough
  A lot of prayers to get me through
  And there is never a day that passes by
  I don't think of you
  You were always there for me
  Pushing me and guiding me
  Always to succeed
    [Chorus:]
  You showed me
  When I was young just how to grow
  You showed me
  Everything that I should know
  You showed me
  Just how to walk without your hands
  Cuz mom you always were
  The perfect fan
    God has been so good
  Blessing me with a family
  Who did all they could
  And I've had many years of grace
  And it flatters me when I see a smile on your face
  I wanna thank you for what you've done
  In hopes I can give back to you
  And be the perfect son
    [Chorus]
    You showed me how to love
  You showed me how to care
  And you showed me that you would always be there
  I wanna thank you for that time
  And I'm proud to say you're mine
    [Chorus]
    Cuz mom you always were,
  Mom you always were
  Mom you always were,
  You know you always were
  Cuz mom you always were... the perfect fan
    I love you Mom
