A Tribute To Mother

It's funny how time passes
She's been gone for seven years
But, in my heart
My love for her
Grows stronger every year.
She was a tall, dark Texan beauty
She could have been almost anything
But, when she married Dad
She chose the simple life
Of a mother and a wife.
Chorus:
She's the Yellow Rose of Texas
The bonniest blue eyes I've ever seen
The sweetest voice
The softest hands
That I have ever known.
She's the Yellow Rose of Texas
She was my mother
My true friend.
This song's in praise of Mother
For all her love and sacrifice
For all the times
She did without
We never knew the price.
Chorus:
She's the Yellow Rose of Texas
The bonniest blue eyes I've ever seen
The sweetest voice
The softest hands
That I have ever known.
She's the Yellow Rose of Texas
She was my mother
My true friend.

She was the Yellow Rose of Texas..
She was my Mother!
She gave me Life!
