I remember the day you appeared on this earth |
| [00:20.84] |
With eyes like the ocean |
| [00:22.69] |
Got blood on my shirt |
| [00:24.86] |
From my camera angle it looked like it hurt |
| [00:28.71] |
But your mama had a big old smile |
| [00:33.45] |
We drove you home saw your yellowing skin |
| [00:37.72] |
Packed a few things and drove you back again |
| [00:41.75] |
Stayed up all night worrying wondering |
| [00:46.07] |
What was gonna make it better |
| [00:50.02] |
Broken bones heal if you set them right |
| [00:53.76] |
Get your fine tooth comb from the barbicide |
| [00:58.20] |
Our love's a protective poison |
| [01:02.41] |
But you are your mother's child |
| [01:06.62] |
And she'll keep you for a while |
| [01:10.33] |
One day you'll be grown |
| [01:13.02] |
Then you'll be on your own |
| [01:23.21] |
Halloween costume looking real cute |
| [01:27.12] |
With your pillowcase full |
| [01:29.16] |
In your astronaut suit |
| [01:31.46] |
Your cousin the cowboy |
| [01:33.49] |
He's eyeing your loot |
| [01:35.69] |
Better watch your Snickers bar |
| [01:39.99] |
Out on the diamond then you're up to bat |
| [01:43.94] |
Chewing your big league |
| [01:45.88] |
Adjusting your hat |
| [01:48.13] |
Taking a swing and hearing it crack |
| [01:52.14] |
Look at that apple fly |
| [01:56.54] |
Tears will dry if you give them time |
| [02:00.31] |
Life's a roller coaster keep your arms inside |
| [02:05.00] |
Fear that's a big emotion |
| [02:09.18] |
But you are your mother's child |
| [02:13.45] |
And she'll have you for a while |
| [02:16.95] |
But someday you'll be grown |
| [02:19.63] |
Then you'll be on your own |
| [02:29.88] |
Posing for pictures cap and a gown |
| [02:34.26] |
Summer is coming you're driving around town |
| [02:38.38] |
Everyone's asking what you're gonna do now |
| [02:42.52] |
I know you're gonna make a splash |
| [02:46.90] |
And find you a sweetheart to treat you so kind |
| [02:51.14] |
Take her to dinner and kiss her goodnight |
| [02:55.10] |
What I couldn't teach you soon you will realize |
| [02:59.18] |
She's the only thing that matters |
| [03:03.32] |
Although he's a bastard make your papa proud |
| [03:07.28] |
Your a fine young man and I got no doubt |
| [03:11.68] |
That you're gonna do this better |
| [03:15.90] |
Because you are your mother's child |
| [03:20.02] |
She had you for a while |
| [03:24.38] |
But now you are grown |
| [03:26.12] |
And you're making it on your own |
| [03:32.76] |
Well now that you're grown |
| [03:34.49] |
May you never feel this alone |
