[Verse 1]
A happy Mother’s Day, Momma
I wish I could see you
I got your old recipes
In the back of my head too
Same glass jar on the shelf
Same quilt on my bed
I still hear your laugh
When the house gets quiet instead
You taught me grace in the hard times
How to stand when I bend
How to keep my heart open
How to heal and not pretend
I bought some flowers today
Put ’em right by your name
Little tears on the card
But the love still came
[Pre-Chorus]
If I close my eyes
You’re right here with me
In every little thing
You still raise me
[Chorus]
A happy Mother’s Day, Momma
I miss you, I miss you
A happy Mother’s Day, Momma
I love you, I love you
Can’t see you today
But I still feel you near
A happy Mother’s Day, Momma
Right here, right here
[Verse 2]
I drove past the house
And I slowed at the door
Thought I’d hear you calling
Like you did before
The same porch swing creak
The same screen door slap
I carry your voice
Like a map on my back
Your photo in my wallet
Creased up at the edge
Been through a lot of miles
Been through a lot of edges
And every time I’m lost
I remember your line
“Baby, keep moving
You’ll be alright”
[Pre-Chorus]
If I close my eyes
You’re right here with me
In every little thing
You still raise me
[Chorus]
A happy Mother’s Day, Momma
I miss you, I miss you
A happy Mother’s Day, Momma
I love you, I love you
Can’t see you today
But I still feel you near
A happy Mother’s Day, Momma
Right here, right here
[Bridge]
I light that candle slow
Say your name out loud
Tell the empty room
You still make me proud
And if heaven has a window
I hope you look down
Smiling at your baby
Still holding it down
[Chorus]
A happy Mother’s Day, Momma
I miss you, I miss you
A happy Mother’s Day, Momma
I love you, I love you
Can’t see you today
But I still feel you near
A happy Mother’s Day, Momma
Right here, right here
