Text: Richard Marx. Thanks To You.

You gave me life, gave me your heart
And your shoulder when I needed to cry
You give me hope, when all my hope is gone
And wings so my dreams can fly

And I haven't told you enough
Haven't been good enough
At making you see

My love for you will live in my heart
Until eternity through
I see your smile in the eyes of my child
I am who I am, mama, thanks to you

You gave me your word, gave me your voice
Gave me your everything each breath of your life
And you believe, when I can't remember how
You teach my faith to survive

And I never can do enough
Never thank you enough
For all that you are

My love for you will live in my heart
Until eternity through
I see your smile in the eyes of my child
I am who I am, mama, thanks to you

I know the treasure and I'm filled with grace
Whenever I see your face

I see your smile in the eyes of my child
I am who I am, mama, thanks to you
