Mama I still hear your voice in the kitchen
Telling me to stand tall when the world got rough
You taught me how to mend what life keeps breaking
And how to say goodbye when the going gets tough
(ohhh) Dear Mom I hope you know how much you mean
Every lesson you gave is still guiding me
Through the miles and the years that have come between
Dear Mom this heart still beats for you (yeah)
You showed me how to pray when the nights got lonely
And how to laugh when the tears wouldn't end
I carry your strength in these hands that I'm holding
Every road that I take brings me closer again (mmm)
Dear Mom I hope you know how much you mean
Every lesson you gave is still guiding me
Through the miles and the years that have come between
Dear Mom this heart still beats for you (yeah)
If I could turn back time
for just one day
I'd sit on that porch
and hear you say my name
Dear Mom I hope you know how much you mean
Every lesson you gave is still guiding me
Through the miles and the years that have come between
Dear Mom this heart still beats for you
Forever true (ooh)
