For all the times I was ungrateful,
When I acted mean and hateful,
For all the times I refused to see;
For all the times I acted smart,
And broke your mother’s heart,
Thank you for still loving me.

When I’d go my own way,
Not caring what you’d say,
For the times I lived so selfishly;
When I refused all your teaching,
‘Cause I thought you were preaching,
Thank you for still loving me.

Now that I’m older and grown,
With children of my own,
I know what you’ve tried to tell me
We each reap what we’ve sown,
Just as you’ve always known,
So, thank you for still loving me.

Now I’ve learned it’s all true,
And dearest Mom, I thank you,
For all of these truths I now see.
You were right all along
And I was so wrong
But thank you for still loving me
