Another trip around the sun
You always knew how to make it fun
You told me there's no harm in dragging
it out for as long as you can
Blow out candles and make a wish
This year could be the best one yet
I long to feel the warmth when you
Wrap your arms around me
Love that only a mother could ever give
48 hugs full of love
That dried my tears
And filled me up
You always believed in me
When I didn't believe in myself
Each and every embrace was
A reminder of the power of love
A confirmation from
A mother's hug
The counting stopped
At number 48
Then heaven gained your hugs
I knew that someday the time would come
When I would long to see you just one more time
Your absence causing
Emptiness to swallow me up
I can't believe a couple of years have passed
Since that coveted hug became my last
I should have held on tighter
Know Mom I miss you so
Love that only a mother could ever give
48 hugs full of love
That dried my tears
And filled me up
You always believed in me
When I didn't believe in myself
Each and every embrace was
A reminder of the power of love
A confirmation from
A mother's hug
The counting stopped
At number 48
Then heaven gained your hugs
48 hugs full of love
That dried my tears
And filled me up
You always believed in me
When I didn't believe in myself
Each and every embrace was
A reminder of the power of love
A confirmation from
A mother's hug
The counting stopped
At number 48
Then heaven gained your hugs
Oooh heaven gained your hugs
