(Verse 1)
Wake up before the sunrise burns
Coffee cold but the world still turns
Tiny shoes by the front door mat
Bills piled up and she handles that
Runs on prayers and a second hand clock
Holds the whole house when the whole world rocks
Nobody sees all the tears she hides
Still somehow she keeps the light alive
(Pre-Chorus)
She says “baby chase every dream you got”
Even when hers got tied in knots
Yeah she gave her wings so yours could fly
That kind of love don’t ever die
(Chorus)
So hug her now till you can’t
Call her up every chance you get
Sit on that porch and hold her hand
Listen close while you still can
Cause one day the house goes quiet
And you’d give the world just to hear her laughing
So tell your mama that you love her
Dance in that kitchen while you can
Yeah life goes faster than you think
So love her hard till you can’t
(Verse 2)
She wore exhaustion like a wedding ring
Still made magic out of everything
Schoolyard fights and hospital halls
She stood ten feet high through it all
There were nights she broke down alone
But she made damn sure her babies got home
Strong enough to carry the pain
Soft enough to dance in the rain
(Bridge)
And when her hair turns silver gray
Don’t let her memory fade away
Cause heroes don’t always wear a cape
Sometimes they’re worn out and full of faith
(Final Chorus)
So hug her now till you can’t
Take those pictures, make those plans
Tell her all the things you mean
Before they turn to “should have beens”
Cause time don’t care about our hearts
It keeps on running through the dark
So thank that woman for who you are
And love her hard till you can’t
(Outro)
Yeah love her hard…
Till you can’t.
