Do you ever wonder, Mother, what became of me?
As I wonder, Mother, what became of you
Now your child's become a woman in her own right
And she'd like you to know, wherever you are, that she loves you

I'll be honest with you, Mother, that it took some time
Till I came to see the pain you must have known
When they took your child, it must have felt like dying
But I'd like you know, wherever you are, that I love you


Now your child's a mother three times over
God knows that she loves those children so
Feeling them beside me now, I really can't imagine how
You found the strength to let your baby go

How I'd love to see you, Mother, just to let you know
That the mom and dad who raised me, raised me well
And I love them more for knowing that they chose me
But I want you to know, wherever you are, that I love you

Now your child's a mother three times over
God knows that she loves those children so
Feeling them beside me now, I really can't imagine how
You found the strength to let your baby go
Yes, your child's mother now, she has a family
And she treasures them the way she does her life
And she couldn't love them more if she had borne them
And we want you know, wherever you are, that we love you
No, I couldn't love them more if I had borne them
And we want you know, wherever you are, that we love you
