That's What God Made Mothers For - 1919 - The Two Rascals

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 24 Oct 2001

I dream'd I saw my dear old mother
kissing me goodbye,
and tho' her heart was breaking
and a tear shone in her eye,
she whisper'd: "Boy, don't let our parting
grieve you any more,
but just remember this is what
God made all mothers for."

"To watch over you when a baby,
to sing you to sleep with her song...
to try to be near you,
to comfort and cheer you,
to teach you the right from the wrong,
to do all she can just to make you a man,
and over a million things more;
She'll sigh for you,
cry for you,
Yes even die for you,
That what God made mothers for."

"I've watched you
from the time I rock'd you
in your cradle, dear;
I dream'd for you and plann'd for you
and long'd to keep you near;
but now the time comes and you're going
to some distant shore
'tis only one of many cares
God made all mothers for."

"To watch over you when a baby,
to sing you to sleep with her song...
to try to be near you,
to comfort and cheer you,
to teach you the right from the wrong,
to do all she can just to make you a man,
and over a million things more;
She'll sigh for you,
cry for you,
Yes even die for you,
That what God made mothers for."
