Instead of writing an “Open Letter to my Mother” which will be popular this week due to Mother's Day, I will be listing the Top 15 Mom Songs. Some of these songs are sung from a mother’s point of view and some are sung from a child’s point of view. The song title, artist and a lyric that showcases the mom-ness of the song are listed below. These are not in any particular order and some are funnier than others. What is your number one mom song?
1. Somebody’s Hero – Jamie O’Neal
She didn't get a check every week like a nine-to fiver
But she's been a waiter, and a cook and a taxi driver
For twenty years, there at home, until the day her girl was grown
Giving all her love to her was her life's ambition
2. In My Daughter’s Eyes – Martina McBride
In my daughter's eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I wanna be
In my daughter's eyes
3. The Best Day – Taylor Swift
Now I know why all the trees change in the fall
I know you were on my side
Even when I was wrong
And I love you for giving me your eyes
Staying back and watching me shine
4. Mama’s Song – Carrie Underwood
Mama, you taught me to do the right things
So, now you have to let your baby fly
You've given me everything that I will need
To make it through this crazy thing called life
And I know you watched me grow up
and only want what's best for me
5. The Baby – Blake Shelton
I guess she was tired by
the time I came along.
She'd laugh until she cried,
I could do no wrong.
She would always save me,
because I was her baby.
6. Like My Mother Does – Lauren Alaina
When I love I give it all I've got
Like my mother does
When I'm scared, I bow my head and pray
Like my mother does
When I feel weak and unpretty
I know I'm beautiful and strong
Because I see myself like my mother does
7. Teenage Daughters – Martina McBride
Remember when we use to be
Everything they ever need
We had them believing we were cool
It's like it happened over night
We're always wrong, they're always right
We use to be the ones breakin' the rules
Now we're just mothers, we're just fathers of
Teenage daughters
8. Don’t Forget to Remember – Carrie Underwood
Momma kept on talking
Putting off good-bye
Then she took my hand and said
'Baby don't forget
Before you hit the highway
You better stop for gas
There's a $50 in the ashtray
In case you run short on cash
Here's a map and here's a Bible
If you ever lose your way
Just one more thing before you leave
Don't forget to remember me'
9. You’ll Always Be My Baby – Sara Evans
In the sunlight or the rain, brightest nights or darkest days
I'll always feel the same way
Whatever road you may be on
Know you're never too far gone
My love is there wherever you may be
Just remember that you will always be my baby
10. I’ll Stand by You – The Pretenders
So if you're mad, get mad
Don't hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry too
Well I'm a lot like you
When you're standing at the crossroads
And don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
'cause even if you're wrong
I'll stand by you
11. Mr. Mom – Lonestar
Balancin' checkbooks, juggling bills
Thought there was nothing to it
Baby, now I know how you feel
What I don't know is how you do it
Honey, you're my hero
12. You’ll Be In My Heart – Phil Collins
For one so small,
You seem so strong
My arms will hold you,
Keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
Can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry
'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
13. Mother Knows Best – Mother Gothel
Mother's right here
Mother will protect you
Darling, here's what I suggest
Skip the drama
Stay with mama
Mother knows best
14. A Mother’s Love – Jim Brickman
You gave me the roots to start this life
and then you gave me wings to fly
And I learned to dream
Because you believed in me
There's no power like it on this earth
No treasure equal to its worth
The gift of a mother's love
15. I’ll Love You Forever – Robert Munsch (This is actually from a book but it is sung by the mother.)
I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living
my baby you'll be.
