A very pretty pop waltz, perfect for dedicating to Mom on Mother's Day, or for Groom to Dance with his Mom, or for any occasion to honor Mom. GREAT for sending to Mom on her birthday! The version was intended as a Mother's Day gift for Mom, and as a demo, but it came out so pretty, I just had to share it!... Connie |
Story Behind the Song
Inspired by a beautiful woman and a fantastic Mother. I realized that there were no other songs I had heard which expressed the feelings I have for my Mom. I also realized that a son needed a special song to play while dancing with his Mom on his wedding day. I "needed a man" with a fine voice and who could give it some feeling, and I asked Ron Hotstream (Isaac's Guns) to sing it. I wanted to give the song to my Mother for her Mother's Day gift, and to have a demo version, but it came out so nice (very pretty), that I had to share it! ... Connie Zimmermann
Lyrics
A Sweet Waltz for Mother
© 1999 C.A. Zimmermann
There is a chamber in my heart, which holds a special treasure,
A gift I take for granted, too much of the time,
I want to take this moment, to tell you that I love you,
And thank you for your gift, my mother.
You labored in many ways to birth my spirit,
I so close to you so small dependent,
Your nurturing love sustained me,
You grew my body and my mind.
In our first few days, you gained your confidence,
Giving way to opening your heart,
Sharing and teaching what you knew,
While letting me come through.
So pure a gift, the love of a mother,
With every beat of my heart, I know its true,
Whatever I make of myself in this life,
I owe it all to you.
Through my life you have given me,
The cool cloth for my fevered brow,
Softened my young heartaches and heartbreaks,
Like only you knew how.
So pure a gift, the love of a mother,
With every beat of my heart, I know its true,
Whatever I make of myself in this life,
Is the gift, that I give to you.
