If I could Give you diamonds
For each tear you have cried for me
If I could give you sapphires
For each truth you've helped me see
If I could give you rubies
For the heartache that you have known
If I could give you pearls
For the wisdom that you have shown
The you'll have a treasure, mother
That would mount up to the skies
That would almost match
The sparkle in your kind and loving eyes.
But I have no pearls, no diamonds
As I'm sure you're well aware
So I'll give you gifts more precious
My devotion, love and care.
