Everything you gave me (Happy Mothers Day)

Yeah…

This one’s for both of you

I’ve thought about it more now that I’m older

How hard it must’ve been to let me go

You gave me life, then gave me something better

A chance at love and a real home

And I know that couldn’t have been easy

Looking down and saying goodbye

But giving me away wasn’t abandoning me…

It was sacrifice

Some love means holding on

Some love means letting go

Everything you gave me… (gave meee)

Made me who I am today

Every sacrifice, every prayer

Every time you showed the way

And if one day I find someone

To build a life and family with

I hope I love her half as good

As the way you always did

And to the woman who became my mother

Even when life had other plans

You loved me like your own from the beginning

Never once treated me less than

You were there for every broken moment

Every victory, every fall

And even though we don’t share blood…

You’re my mom through it all

And now I’m older, I finally see

Just how much that meant to me

Everything you gave me… (gave meee)

Made me who I am today

Every sacrifice, every prayer

Every time you showed the way

And if one day I find someone

To build a life and family with

I hope I love her half as good

As the way you always did

One gave me life…

One gave me home…

And because of both of you

I was never alone

Everything you gave me…

Still lives inside my heart

Every lesson, every moment

Made me who we are

And if someday I become the man

I’ve been trying hard to be

It’ll be because your love

Never gave up on me

I love you both…
