[verse 1]
I was just a girl, barely twenty-one
You came into my world, my second little one
Didn’t have it all together,
but your sweet little smile made everything better
[Verse 2]
You light up my skies
bring laughter to my eyes
You were always loved,
though I stumbled sometimes
you’re this mamas pride
That can’t never be denied
Chorus
You were just a boy,
And I was just a mom
My sweet little blessing sent straight from above
When life got messy, your love shone through
Always looking out like sons were born to do
Caring and kind
A healing balm sent straight from the divine.
[Verse 3]
You’ve always had that fire, that spark in your eyes
Witty little comments that took me by surprise
You are my Sunny boy who turns grey skies blue
Who loves his family through and through
Bridge
I look at the man you’ve grown up to be
And I thank the Lord for the gift you are to me
If I could go back, I’d try harder, love louder, and hold on just a little bit tighter
[Final Chorus sung softly)
For You were just a boy,
And I was just a mom
My sweet little blessing sent straight from above
When life got messy,
your love shone through
Always looking out like sons were born to do
Caring and kind
A healing balm sent straight from the divine.
[Outro]
Yeah, you have your mama’s heart Sonny boy…..for all of my life
