This is a song for mothers. Laurie Middlebrook does the vocal.
More Than Gold
by Laurie Laurie Middlebrook and Stephen Colarelli
If she had a penny for all the many times she washed their clothes
Or tucked them into bed, all the books she read
Making sure that they stayed warm
Her precious gifts from God above, from the moment they were born
More than gold,
More than gold
In so many ways, on so many days, she would push to help them grow
Make them do their chores and practice more and let the nonsense go
Because through all the tears and all those years
She was their rock fight from the start
And she has faith that they'll be strong, because her blood runs through their hearts
More than gold
More than gold
More than gold
More than gold
When time turned its page and she came of age -- could have answered any call
They said she made a sacrifice, the most important job of all
The treasures of her life--
A home and family
She could have been anything at all, but she just wanted to be …
More than gold
More than gold
More than gold
More than gold
