Until I was a Mother
I think I never truly knew
How very much I cared for you
Until I was a mother too;
Nor knew that any love could be
As deep as that you give to me.
A love that gives but does not ask;
That changes every little task
To joy; a love that stays the same,
A steady and enduring flame.
This love I give to her must be
The same love that you gave to me;
And gave me through all my years;
My joy, your joy, my tears, your tears.
Mother, I never truly knew
until I was a mother too;
Your love for me and mine for you.

You Needed Me
Artist: Anne Murray
Words and Music by Randy Goodrum
I cried a tear, you wiped it dry
I was confused, you cleared my mind
I sold my soul, you bought it back for me
And held me up and gave me dignity
Somehow you needed me
You gave me strength to stand alone again
To face the world out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me
And I can't believe it's you
I can't believe it's true
I needed you and you were there
And I'll never leave, why should I leave?
I'd be a fool 'cause I finally found someone who really cares
You held my hand when it was cold
When I was lost you took me home
You gave me hope when I was at the end
And turned my lies back into truth again
You even called me "friend"
You gave me strength to stand alone again
To face the world out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me
You needed me, you needed me
