Mother Dear Lyric

Mother Dear, And I've Nowhere To Hide

Mother Dear, Did I Spoil Your Plans?

Mother Dear, I Do The Best I Can

Mother Dear, And I've Nowhere To Hide

Mother Dear, Kept Me Warm And Safe

Mother Dear, I'll Never Lose My Faith In Mother Dear



Mother Dear, Did I Spoil Your Plans?

Mother Dear, I Do The Best I Can
