about

Written and recorded in 2006 in the aftermath of my mother's cancer diagnosis, remastered in 2020

lyrics

I'm trying to think of all I want to say to you
And how to show you how important you are to me
No words ever do justice to a life-time of getting through
I want to thank you more than I can breathe

I hope you know how much you're loved
And I hope you know how much you've done
And I hope you know what effect you've had
To make me what I am

All I want to tell you couldn't fit in my big mouth
A hundred years could pass, it's not enough
I'm so very grateful for the time we're given
I've known you half your life, it's not enough

I want you to stay where you are
Not more than forever by far

And I hope you know what effect you've had
To make me what I hope to be

I hope you know how much you're loved
And I hope you know how great you are
And I hope you, you've been proud of me
I'll see you again
