Oh Gillian, you're up with the sun 
                 C/B         Am                F         G     C 
And you've done one hundred things before half past nine 
                    C/B   Am F    G        C 
By the time most folk are up and gone 
          C/B  Am               F    G            C 
You'll be starting on one hundred and one 
 
 
 F                              C                  G      C 
There's not enough hours in the day 
 F      C                      G             C 
To do all the things that she's got to do 
F                                G 
When the daylight fades 
               C     C/B  Am 
And the night invades 
F                G    C 
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
