Oh Gillian, you're up with the sun 
                 C5         A5                F5         G5     C5 
And you've done one hundred things before half past nine 
                    C5   A5 F5    G5        C5 
By the time most folk are up and gone 
          C5  A5               F5    G5            C5 
You'll be starting on one hundred and one 
 
 
 F5                              C5                  G5      C5 
There's not enough hours in the day 
 F5      C5                      G5             C5 
To do all the things that she's got to do 
F5                                G5 
When the daylight fades 
               C5     C5  A5 
And the night invades 
F5                G5    C5 
She's only just begun 
 
 
Weary as you lay at night waiting for the sun 
Planning out tomorrow now before this day is done 
Gillian you work too hard 
But don't try and slow her down  She'll tell you 
idleness is good for none, work's how I get my fun 
iIdleness is good for none, work's how I get things done 
 
 
Gillian, you're the one, you're the one 
Shining in my life, you're my eternal sun 
I'm trying to thank you now 
For what I've become 
But I've only just begun 
 
 
Your influence has been profound and I'm proud to be your son 
Your blood is my blood 
We are forever bound 
You're the inspiration to the way I live my life 
Gillian, if you weren't my mother 
I'd make you my wife
