The Perfect Fan
Paroles:
[English]
It takes a lot to know what is love
...
It's not the big things but the little things
That can mean enough
A lot of prayers to get me through
And there is never a day that passes by
I don't think of you
You were always there for me
Pushing me and guiding me
...
Always to succeed
You showed me
When I was young just how to grow
You showed me
Everything that I should know
You showed me
Just how to walk without your hands
'Cause mom, you always were the perfect fan
...
God has been so good
...
Blessing me with a family
Who did all they could
And I've had many years of grace
...
And it flatters me when I see a smile on your face
I wanna thank you for what you've done
In hopes I can give back to you
And be the perfect son
You showed me
When I was young just how to grow
You showed me
Everything that I should know
You showed me
Just how to walk without your hands
'Cause mom, you always were the perfect fan
(You showed me how to love)
You showed me how to love
(You showed me how to care)
You showed me how to care
(You showed me that you would) Always be there
I wanna thank you for that time
And I'm proud to say you're mine
You showed me, you showed me
When I was young just how to grow
You showed me
Everything that I should know
You showed me
Just how to walk without your hands
'Cause mom you always were the perfect fan
'Cause mom, you always were
...
Mom, you always were
Mom, you always were
You know you always were
'Cause mom, you always were
The perfect fan
...
I love you, mom
...
