Here's a tune I wrote with fellow musician's T.J. Lopes and Bob Baldwin. You won't believe how it came to be.
As much as I love our Mom (2 sisters and a brother) Mother's day came and I forgot to send Flowers or a card and thought...Okay I'm in trouble. T.J. and I had spent time together during the week working on songs. So on Mother's Day I was sitting and thinking how in the world could I recover...
I began to think about how much love Mother showed us and how special a Mother's love is and how we have them only for a short while. This song is a celebration of life and the love of a Mother.

Lyrics & Melody by Lennox Armstrong
I Love You Mom
Verse 1
Mother you gave life to me
Held me inside you and protected me
You brought me into this world
where you love and nurtured me
First smile I saw, first love I knew
Every first should be like my first with you
in every memory of my life
there are reflections of you
Chorus
I love you Mom I love you so
My heart holds you close and I'll never let you go
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for everything you are
Verse 2
Mother you told me that I
could be anything that I decide
You showed me the world ...showed me the world
from your point of view
Taught me to dream, Taught me see
That what really is important is my family
In every memory of my life
there are reflections of you
Chorus
I love you Mom I love you So
My heart holds you close and I'll never let you go
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for everything you are
Because of all the love you shown to me
you've taught me how to be
So now I give to those that I love the same you gave to me and now forever your love will remain...I love you Mom.
Bridge (spoken word)
Mom, I just wanted to say thank you for everything you've ever done for me You know… I dont' know how I would have made it without you
All your sacrifices and all the love you provided All the direction all the consolation in tough times
I just want to say ...I love you Mom
Chorus
I love you Mom
I love you So
My heart holds you close
and I'll never let you go
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for everything you are
