Still Sixteen Years Old - A song written for Jeri O. Bubert - the world's greatest Mother © 1994 by Robert Ragan
Verse I
Mother and I look at old photographs
laughing at the memories
talkin' about the past
I saw her in black and white when she was in her youth
And then she told me her secret truth
Chorus I
She said that even though time's movin' on
through hard times through good times
more precious than gold
That inside - she's still sixteen years old
Bridge
Ageless beauty - sparkle in her eyes
ever willing to make the sacrifice
Bonds of a mothers love - stronger than steel
as the years roll by the more I feel the way she feels
Chorus II
And if I live to be a hundred years old
I promise you mother my heart will not grow cold
And inside - I'll still be sixteen years old
Verse II
It's getting late now it's time to go home
with a wedge of the best cake the world has ever known
A hug and a kiss and a see you real soon
as I catch a glimpse of her endless youth
Repeat Chorus I and Chorus II
Still sixteen years old...
