Angel In The Game
(mm-mm, nineteen years today)
(yeah,
my blessing)
Eight pounds and ten ounces in my arms
From the very start,
keeping you from harm
Quiet in your ways,
heart pure and deep
With the holy word you read before you sleep
Running down the pitch with your boots tied tight
Always making moves doing what is right
Numbers and balance, you see the whole design
A brilliant mind that learns to shine Still my gentle boy no
matter where you go
Just wanted you to know
(wanted you to know)
Happy birthday to my nineteen-year-old son
Look at the man you
have become
You're my angel,
a light in the dark Got a mother's whole love in your
heart
(my
angel) Happy nineteenth, my pride and joy
Reserved in the room,
but you stand tall
Smart on your feet,
studying it all
Balancing the books, charting out your lane
Yet calm through the sun and the rain
Always my sweetest boy,
steady and true
Proud of every single
thing you do
Through every game you play,
through every page you turn
A mother's prayer for every lesson you learn
Walk in grace, keep your faith so clear Nineteen looks so good
on you, my dear
(ooh yeah)
Happy birthday to my nineteen-year-old son
Look at the man you have become
You're my angel, a light in the dark Got a mother's whole
love in your heart (such a light) Happy nineteenth,
my pride and joy
(forever my boy)
Love you angel,
happy birthday (nineteen years blessed)
