Thread Name: Lyr Req: We Love You Conrad (from Bye Bye Birdie)
Subject: RE: Tune Req: I think this is a childrens song
Found this one too:

MOTHER, WE LOVE YOU!

yesterday's gone and won't come again,
i cannot pretend, cause it's over
but here on this day, we'd like, if we may,
wish you a happy birthday, mother

CHORUS
mother, we love you, oh yes we do
yes it's true, oh how we love you
mother, we love you, yes we do
though far apart, in our hearts
oh how we love you

we children grow up and go separate ways,
like lovers, who've stayed too long
but brother and sister and I come again
to sing you this birthday song

a family will die, if it does not care,
they tell me blood's thicker than water,
a family will live, if truly it shares,
every mother and brother and daughter

CHORUS
mother, we love you, oh yes we do
yes it's true, oh how we love you
mother, we love you, yes we do
that's moog, lynnz and dave, here to say,
oh, how we love you
