Sometimes we biked down old dirt roads,
She showed me paths that nobody knows,
Handlebars in my teenage hands,
Learning life the way she always planned.
Sometimes we worked in the garden rows,
She taught me how each flower grows,
Sun-worn soil in my teenage hands,
Learning life the way she always planned.
(Chorus Alternate)
On this day I say your name with pride,
Feel your love still walking by my side,
In every memory, warm and true,
There’s a piece of me that comes from you,
And though you’re gone, I clearly see,
Your love still lives and carries me.
Every Mother's Day from years gone by,
Every craft I made she kept nearby,
From grade one to eight, she saved them all,
Those memories still stand strong and tall.
Taught me how to stitch and sew,
How simple strands could start to grow,
Every lesson wrapped in care,
You could feel her love right there.
(Chorus Alternate)
On this day I say your name with pride,
Feel your love still walking by my side,
In every memory, warm and true,
There’s a piece of me that comes from you,
And though you’re gone, I clearly see,
Your love still lives and carries me.
She gave her all to see us through,
In every trial, her love stayed true,
No shadowed days, no lasting hurt,
Just quiet strength in every word.
(Bridge)
Time moves on but it doesn’t erase,
The love I still feel, the warmth, the place,
Every lesson lives in me somehow,
I see her then, I feel her now.
(Chorus)
She was more than just a guiding hand,
She gave me love that helped me stand,
Not by blood but deeper still,
A mother’s heart, a steady will,
And every year when this day comes through,
I smile through tears remembering you.
She was more than just a guiding hand,
She gave me love that helped me stand,
Not by blood but deeper still,
A mother’s heart, a steady will,
And every year when this day comes through,
I smile through tears remembering you.
