(Mmm, yeah)
For everything you gave, you’re my heart, Mom.
(Oh, baby)
I look back at the days when I was small
You were the shadow standing by the wall
Watching me grow, making sure I never fall
Even when the winter breeze was biting cold
You traded in your dreams for a heart of gold
Giving me the sunlight that I need to hold
Yeah, you did that, baby.
Oh, Mom, you gave your life for mine
You sacrificed the stars so I could shine
Through the midnight rain, you were the light I find
My greatest blessing, you’re one of a kind
Yeah, you’re my queen, you’re my heart, you’re my soul
I owe you everything, baby, you make me whole.
I know the late nights that you spent alone
Working until your spirit felt so worn
Just to put the food upon the table stone
I see the history written in your hands
The quiet prayers in all your hidden plans
Helping me to reach for where I stand
I need you to know I see it all.
Oh, Mom, you gave your life for mine
You sacrificed the stars so I could shine
Through the midnight rain, you were the light I find
My greatest blessing, you’re one of a kind
Yeah, you’re my queen, you’re my heart, you’re my soul
I owe you everything, baby, you make me whole.
I can’t repay the years you gave away
But I’ll be here to love you every day
Through the ups and downs, come here and stay
I love you more than words can ever say
(Oh, mmm, yeah, I love you)
So let me be the one to hold you now
I’m making you a promise and a vow
To honor you in all the ways and how
Because you are the reason that I breathe
Everything I have is what you leave
It’s the beautiful reality I weave.
Oh, Mom, you gave your life for mine
You sacrificed the stars so I could shine
Through the midnight rain, you were the light I find
My greatest blessing, you’re one of a kind
Yeah, you’re my queen, you’re my heart, you’re my soul
I owe you everything, baby, you make me whole.
Yeah, you’re my heart, Mom.
Everything you gave to me.
I love you, forever and always.
(Mmm, yeah, you're the one)
