Music Video
The music video features each of the Oaks in their hometowns, each visiting with their respective mothers. The original intent was to have the group sing the song to their mothers in the video, however, Duane Allen's mother was ill at the time, so the director decided to incorporate their hometowns, thus avoiding any lengthy or strenuous travel. The video continues to be played each year as part of Mother's Day specials on various video networks.
