VERSE 1You ask me why I fell in love with you,I’m going to tell you the truth, dear,I’m going to tell you the truth.The reason why I fell in love with you,Is because, my darling,I find that you always bring to my mindA certain someoneI have loved since before I cut a tooth.
REFRAINYou remind me of my mothermy mother was a lot like you,So many little things you doI find they bring to mind my mother,I never thought there’d be anotherWould have that sweet appeal,Or could make me feel, that the old fool world was realI’ve got a tin-type of my motherWhen mother was a girl like youYou look a lot alike you two,Her hair was just as fair, her eyes used to twinkle just the same as your eyes do,You remind me of my mother that’s why I love you.you.
VERSE 2I never knew you fell in love with me,I’m glad you told me the truth, dear,I’m glad you told me the truth.‘Twas such a lovely thing to say to me,For I know the love of motherIs a love that’s like no other,The sweetest thought thatever could be whispered by a youth.
