Testo: Jermaine Jackson. Oh Mother.

Have I told you, you are my river?

That never stops for a rest

Have I thanked you for letting me come out of you?

And giving me all of your best

Have I thanked you for having our family?

Without them I wouldn't be here

Have I told you no matter how far I may go?

All of you...
always are near

Oh mother...you've given everything to me

Oh mother...you've never asked for anything

Oh mother...I'm sorry for all those times I hurt you so

When all along it was really me


Scared of letting go

So afraid to grow

Have I told you I'll love you forever?

Have I told you I'll love you always?

Have I told you the difference you make in my life?

You make it your own special way

Oh mother...you've given everything to me

Oh mother...you've never asked for anything

Oh mother...you've given everything to me

Have I told you, you never asked for anything?

That I love you...
Have I told you today?
