1st Verse

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

1st Chorus

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

2nd Verse

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

2nd Chorus

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

Bridge

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

Tag Chorus

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
