I remember the day I was born, laying in your arms mom
Wait, no I don’t, just trying to convey my thoughts mom
Can’t imagine the cost mom raising a crazy kid like me
Energy required daily cooking meals nightly
It’s likely teaching me to behave politely
Might be hard but I never take your words lightly
Although it might seem at times you’re just leading the blind
I hope you’re seeing with time the bad habits that im leaving behind
Teaching to fly although the house might be an empty nest
We’re blessed knowing emptiness will never enter this
I’m so grateful words will never be able to describe
So thankful cuz when I was hurt you were there beside
Even though painful I sure with you I would be alrite
All those times remain full of life in my mind
Through those nights through those fights you kept me right
Gave me light gave me sight and now im set for life
Mama mama you know I love you (you know I love you) mama
Mama you’re the queen of my heart
Your love is like tears from the stars
Mama I just want you to know
Loving you is like food to my soul
Loved me even when I was bad hugged me even when I was mad
Trusted me even though I was far deserving of that
You loved me before I could even send love back
So no matter what life has in store in the end this love lasts
You gave me faith in God faith to go on through the storms and clouds
Faith when it was hard to smile even through the scorns and shouts
Faith in family cuz in the end that all that you got
Faith for handling times when all I had were blue thoughts
Time flies eighteen years already gone by so fast
Times dried so many tears memories in my mind I’ve stashed
And to all you kids out there just know that you’re never to old
Adults think they’re too grown but next time grab mamas hand take hold
Even if you’re not with me everyone everywhere where I go
Will see a part of you cuz when they look my eyes it’ll show
You will always be the girl in my life for all times
Chorus
You were there for me to love and care for me when skies were gray
And whenever I was down you were always there to comfort me
No one else can do what you have done for you will always be
You will always be the girl in my life for all times
Chorus
