Happy Mothers' Day!

It's Mothers' Day this Sunday.

All this week the Oprah Winfrey show had special episodes dedicated to Mothers' Day this 10th of May, and in one show, she highlighted this very special and hugely talented girl named Charice who had been a big fan of Celine Dion since she was 3 years old. So you can imagine that it was truly a dream come true for her when she got to sing with Celine at her concert in Madison Square Garden. She chose to sing the song "Because You Loved Me" and dedicated the song to her mother. The lyrics to this song cannot be more appropriate for all mothers everywhere. When she had finished singing, there was probably not a dry eye in the audience. Her mother also looked immensely proud of her. Take a look at the video:



Because You Loved Me

For all the times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through
Through it all

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cos you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was
Loved by you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cos you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark
Shining your love into my eyes
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place
Because of you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cos you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

Happy Mothers' Day Mummy! We love you!
