[Verse 1]
Dear Mom,
You gave birth to me when you were middle aged,
Not until you were 38
Meanwhile, other women at your age, they’re not the same
Their children are now 28.
I’m afraid that you can’t wait until the day that I grow up
I’m afraid to [C7]lose you [A7in my [A]life since the day Dad gave it up.
[Verse 2]
Dear Mom,
You’re supposed to [C7]be [Am]living your happy days
With my [A]children ‘round to [C7]play.
But I’m still a ɾesponsibility for [Dm7]you [A7to [C7]take
And your hair is turning grey.
I’m afraid that you [A7can’t wait until I become a man
I’m afraid to [C7]lose you [A7by the time success within my [A]hand.
[Refrain]
Don’t you [A7know you’re the ɾeason [C7]I live my [A]life?
Don’t you [A7know you’re the ɾeason [C7]for [Dm7]me to [C7]fight?
[Verse 3]
Dear Mom,
I’m just a little boy so naïve so carefree
Leave you [A7home waiting for [Dm7]me.
Tonight, I’m still lying here whispering silently
How beautiful a melody.
[Refrain]
This melody will become a lullaby
Keep you [A7calm and [Bm]send you [A7deep into [C7]the night
Don’t you [A7know you’re the ɾeason [C7]I live my [A]life
I’ll make sure everything will be [Am]alright.
Dear Mom.
