You Remind Me of My Mother George M. Cohan

(Verse 1)
You ask me why I fell in love with you
I’m going to tell you the truth, dear
I’m going to tell you the truth
The reason why I fell in love with you
Is because, my darling
I find that you always bring to my mind
A certain someone
I have loved since before I cut a tooth

(Chorus)
You remind me of my mother
My mother was a lot like you
So many little things you do
I find they bring to mind my mother
I never thought there’d be another
Would have that sweet appeal
Or could make me feel, that the old fool world was real
I’ve got a tin-type of my mother
When mother was a girl like you
You look a lot alike you two
Her hair was just as fair, her eyes used to twinkle just the same as your eyes do
You remind me of my mother that’s why I love you

(Verse 2)
I never knew you fell in love with me
I’m glad you told me the truth, dear
|I’m glad you told me the truth
Twas such a lovely thing to say to me
For I know the love of mother
Is a love that’s like no other
The sweetest thought that
Ever could be whispered by a youth
