Medals for Mothers
Daniel O'Donnell · I Need You / Don't Forget to Remember [2002]
Those heavenly stairs
And medals for mothers
Were given up there
They mentioned the million things
Mom did for me
Things I took for granted
And never could see.
If there's medals for mother
For all of the deeds they have done
If there's medals for mothers
Mama you'll win everyone.
A medal of honor
Was pinned on her there
A medal for patience
And kind loving care.
A medal for duty
She won up above
But the biggest of all
Was the one for her love.
If there's medals for mothers
For all of the deeds they have done
If there's medals for mothers
Mama you'll win everyone.
Yes, Mama you'll win everyone...
