    Default 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".

    "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.

    Smile Thanks for the help-got it!

    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.
