You taught me how to whistle and how to tie my shoes, And how to talk to Jesus in the darkness of my room. You held my hand when I got stitches, When one of Tommy Tyler's pitches hit my face. One time I stole from your purse, then I lied and made it worse. But you loved me anyway. Growing up, I remember your amazing grace. I still feel your arms around me now and then. I miss you wavin' from the front door I can't drive by there anymore, 'Cause no one'll ever love me, Like that again. You sent me all those letters when I went off to school. I should've written you back but I was too busy being cool. Funny how I couldn't wait, To get you on the phone to say: "Mom, I'm in love." You were there whether or not I gave a little or a lot It was enough. I can still hear you sayin' you're proud of me. And I remember thinkin' of you as my friend. I miss you wavin' from the front door I can't drive by there anymore, 'Cause no one'll ever love me, Like that again. I guess I miss you more today cause it's your birthday, And I couldn't bear for you to spend it here alone. Wish I could say this to your face, Instead of talkin' to your name carved in stone. I can still hear you sayin' you're proud of me. And I can feel your arms around me, now and then. There's a hole in my heart In the shape of you, Mom. 'Cause no one'll ever love me, No one'll ever love me, Like that again.
