The Perfect Fan

It takes a lot to know what is love
It's not the big things but the little things that can mean enough
A lotta prayers to get me through, yeah
And there is never a day that passes by, I don't think of you

You were always here for me
Pushing me and guiding me always to succeed

You showed me when I was young just how to grow
You showed me everything that I should know
You showed me just how to walk without your hand
'Cause mom, you always were the perfect fan

God has been so good (he's been good)
Blessing me with a family who did all they could (did all they could)
Now I've had many years of grace
And it flatters me, oh, when I see a smile on your face

I wanna thank you for what you've done
In hopes I can give back to you and be the perfect son

You showed me when I was young just how to grow
You showed me everything that I should know
You showed me just how to walk without your hand
'Cause mom, you always were the perfect fan

Showed me how to love (you showed me how to love)
You showed me how to care (you showed me how to care)
Show me that you would always be there
I wanna thank you for that time
And I'm proud to say, oh that

You showed me when I was young just how to grow
You showed me everything that I should know
You showed me just how to walk without your hand
'Cause mom, you always were the perfect fan
'Cause mom, you always were (mom, you always were)
Mom, you always were (you know you always)
Mom, you always were the perfect fan

I love you, mom
