Topic: Designing the Perfect Mother

I wrote this for Mothers Day and for some reason decided to put it to music today so I hope you like it.

Designing the Perfect Mother By Jeff Gilpin


May 25, 2007





[G] [D] [C] [G]




Chorus


[C]If I would design a Mother


I mean [G]starting from scratch


[C]I'd need to think a moment or [Em]two


What would [D]be the perfect [G]Mother?







Verse 1


[G]If I was a child it would [Em]be and easy choice


My [G]Mom would be my playmate and my [C]friend


I'd [C]get what I wanted when I wanted and [G]all with a smile


I'd stay up [D]late and wake up when I [C]wanted the day to be[G]gin







Chorus


[C]If I would design a Mother


I mean [G]starting from scratch


[C]I'd need to think a moment or [Em]two


What would [D]be the perfect [G]Mother?






Verse 2


[G]If I were in my teens it would [Em]be a different case


I would [G]pretty much want mom to let [C]me be me


Oh she'd [C]clean my room, wash my cloths and [G]feed me as well


But [D]otherwise she'd be some [C]one I wouldn't [G]see






Chorus


[C]If I would design a Mother


I mean [G]starting from scratch


[C]I'd need to think a moment or [Em]two



What would [D]be the perfect [G]Mother?







Verse 3


[G]If I were all grown and [Em]starting out in life


I would [G]want her there as kind of my safety [C]zone


I'd [C]talk with her about my troubles and get [G]help when times were bad


But [D]otherwise life would go [C]on without me picking up the [G]phone






Chorus


[C]If I would design a Mother


I mean [G]starting from scratch


[C]I'd need to think a moment or [Em]two


What would [D]be the perfect [G]Mother?






Break


But [Em]I'm not a child, a teen[C]ager of a young a[G]dult


I'm [D]all grown up now with [C]two grown kids as [G]well


I [Em]know all the things a Mom, and Dad, and [C]kids should be [G]doing


The [D]easy and the [C]hard and the too tough to [D]tell[D7]







Verse 4


So [G]thinking back on my [Em]perfect Mother design


For [G]me it's a very tough decision to come [C]to


But if I [C]were to pick the Almighty [G]Mother of Perfection


I [D]think I'd pick a [C]Mother just like [G]you.






Ending Chorus


[C]If I would design a Mother


I mean [G]starting from scratch


[C]I'd need to think a moment or [Em]two


You would [D]be the perfect [G]Mother![D] [C] [G]
