[Bill] What a wonderful day it was
When you came into the world. You said hello 90 years ago
And took life for a whirl
[Jeff] You birthed five kids in just five years
A feat emotional and physical
Nine years later, you had one more
That you survived seems like a miracle
[Saxophone solo]
[Mary] We’ll inherit those habits of yours
But it’s hard to imitate
Your fashion sense, your selflessness
Your embrace of experience
[Carol] We’re grown up now, but we all know how
You’ve shaped our point of view
We’re quick to laugh and share our love
And our hearts still cry out for you
[All] You’re in my heart, you’re in my soul
I’ll hold you close as you grow old
You are my mother, you’re my best friend
You’re in my soul
[Neal] My love for you is immeasurable
My respect for you immense
You’re ageless, timeless, lace and fineness
You’re beauty and elegance
[Celeste] You’re a rhapsody, a comedy
You’re a symphony and a play
You’re every love song ever made Every lullaby and prayer
[All] You’re in my heart, you’re in my soul
I’ll hold you close as you grow old
You are my mother, you’re my best friend
You’re in my soul
[Bill] You’re an essay in glamour
Please pardon the grammar
[Jeff] You’re every son and daughter’s dream
[Mary] You’re Celtic, Canadian, naturalized American
[Bill, Jeff, Mary] You’re the best mom we’ve ever seen
[Carol] And there have been many hard times
[Neal] Many times we thought we’d quit
[Celeste] But you stayed strong and cheered us on
[Carol, Neal, Celeste] ‘Cause your love for us is deep
[All] You’re in my heart, you’re in my soul I’ll hold you close as you grow old
You are my mother, you’re my best friend
You’re in my soul
[All] You’re in my heart, you’re in my soul
I’ll hold you close as you grow old
You are my mother, you’re my best friend
You’re in my soul
