Older song that spells M O T H E R

Can you help me remember the singer and title of an older song where the singer says M is for...O is for...etc? Male singer -- Not Jimmy Dean and "IOU" or Melba Montgomery's "No charge".

A country song maybe?

"M-O-T-H-E-R" I don't believe there's a particular artist associated with this song.

M is for the million things she gives me
O means only that she's soft to hold
T for the things she tries to teach me
H is for her heart of purest gold
E for her eyes with love light shining
R means right and right she'll always be
Put them all together they spell Mother,
A word that means the world to me.

Thanks for writing out the poem. It was the last line that was the title of the song -- that helped me in the search. "M-O-T-H-E-R A Word That Means The World To Me" was recorded by Eddy Arnold (and maybe others).

I appreciate the help.

Great. Sang it too many times as a youngster. Hope you enjoy it.
