Mother, You're Just An Angel
Here is my current preferred lyrics and style of singing this song.
[If you choose to sing V3 onwards (normally spoken)...
the first 3 notes... is the same as first 3 notes from 'V1 & V2,
i.e. 'There are friends' & 'Though her hands'... and...
the rest of the verse should flow with the same flavor]
I built a chorus from part of the lyrics so others can join in and sing to their mothers as well.

My Current Preferred Version
Mother, You're Just An Angel
~ original Music & Lyrics, and sung by Hank Snow
~ also sung by Slim Dusty
~ title & lyrics, very slightly edited by PGA
[Part 1 of 2
~ for all occasions,
~ especially a happy one.]
[V1]
There are friends who'll want you, but just for a day
There are pals you think are true, but they'll cast you away
But there's one loving soul, I'll sure recommend
She's your mother, God loves her, she'll be true till the end
[Chorus]
Mother, you're just an angel and I love you.
[V2]
Though her hands are all wrinkled and old,
Silver hair that has lost all its glow
You've wandered and roamed, all through the years
And sometimes you've left her, with heartaches and tears
[1st Optional Pre-Ending with Chorus below]
So kiss her old brow, whisper softly and true
[Chorus]
Mother, you're just an angel and I love you.

[Part 2 of 2
~ for some occasions,
~ especially a SAD one,
~ or just to present this song in its entirety.]
[If you choose to sing V3 onwards (normally spoken)...
the first 3 notes... is the same as first 3 notes from 'V1 & V2,
i.e. 'There are friends' & 'Though her hands'... and...
the rest of the verse should flow with the same flavor]
[V3] ~ [Spoken or Sung]
On the door of a cottage, a wreath sadly hung
And a hearse stood there awaiting, till choir had sung
There were flowers in their beauty, and the Preacher, he prayed
This was the last tribute, as we left... for her grave
[Chorus]
Mother you're just an angel and I love you.
[V4] ~ [Spoken or Sung]
She won't meet you tonight, when you crave her caress
She has reared you to adulthood, and now you've laid her to rest
Those flowers in their beauty, to her they're unknown
Cause tonight she's with the angels, up around God's great throne
[Chorus]
Mother, you're just an angel and I love you.
[V5] ~ [Spoken or Sung]
So don't wait, that late, to try and repay
Give those flowers, and those treasures, but... give them today
Let her know that you love her, and show that you care
Because she's your mother, she's as true as a prayer
[2nd Optional Pre-Ending with Chorus below]
So kiss her old brow whisper softly and true
[Chorus]
Mother, you're just an angel and I love you.

Song, Lyrics & Breakfast ~ HONEY BUNCHes of Oats
This is a current breakfast craze of Dots,
'Honey Bunches of Oats ~ by Post'
Reminds me of a song... (scroll down to below this picture)
.jpg)
Reminds me of a song...
originally sung by the Four Tops...
if you see the Video of them singing,
you'll know why they're called the 'Four Tops'...
they're always spinning a round while singing the song.
However... I like the 2012 Modern Version sung by Jessica Mauboy...
I think Dots may know who she is, they're the same age.
Here's an excerpt from wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Jessica Hilda Mauboy (born 4 August 1989)
is an Australian R&B and pop singer, songwriter and actress.
In 2006, Mauboy was the runner-up on the fourth season of Australian Idol,
she had auditioned for the talent show in Alice Springs, Northern Territory to pursue a recording career.
Mauboy subsequently signed a contract with Sony Music Australia.

Lyrics:
I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)
~ originally sung by the Four Tops
Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch
You know that I love you
I can't help myself
I love you and nobody else
In and out my life(in and out my life)
You come and you go (you come and you go)
Leaving just your picture behind.... (ooh)
And I've kissed it a thousand times (ooh)
When you snap your finger, or wink you eye,
I come a-running to you
I'm tied to your apron strings,
And there's nothing that I can do
I can't help myself,
No, I can't help myself,
'Cause, Sugar Pie Honey Bunch
I'm weaker than a man should be
I can't help myself
I'm a fool in love 'ya see
Wanna tell you I don't love you,
Tell you that we're through
And I try....
But ev'ry time I see your face,
I get all choked up inside
When I call your name,
Girl, it starts to flame
Burning in my heart,
Tearing it all apart..
No matter how I try
My love I cannot hide....
'Cause Sugar Pie Honey Bunch
You know that I'm waiting for you (waiting for you)
I can't help myself
I love you and nobody else
Sugar Pie Honey Bunch
I'd do anything you ask me to (ask me to)
I can't help myself
I want you and nobody else
Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch
You know that I love you (I dooo)
I can't help myself...
No... I can't help myself
