[Verse 1]
Mommy
I look down from heaven
And I see you cry at night
Curled up on the left side of the bed
Phone screen is your only light
You trace my name on the window
Foggy glass and shaking hands
You keep my shoes by the front door
Like I’ll run in again
[Chorus]
Mommy
I see you cry
I’m right here
I’m right here
Every tear that falls from your eyes
Falls into my hands
My dear (oh)
When you think you’re breaking inside
I’m holding the pieces tight
Mommy
I see you cry
But I’m still by your side
[Verse 2]
I hear you talk into the silence
Tell me ’bout your day and then
You fold my shirts the way you used to
Place them back and breathe me in
You blame yourself in the mirror
For a storm you couldn’t change
If love could’ve kept me forever
You’d have carried all my pain
[Chorus]
Mommy
I see you cry
I’m right here
I’m right here
Every tear that falls from your eyes
Falls into my hands
My dear (mmm)
When you think you’re breaking inside
I’m holding the pieces tight
Mommy
I see you cry
But I’m still by your side
[Bridge]
When the house feels too quiet
Listen close
I’m in the air (oh)
In the dust that dances in the sunlight
In the ribbon in your hair
I am all your sleepy mornings
I am every lullaby
I am every “I love you” you whispered
I never say goodbye
[Chorus]
Mommy
I see you cry
I’m right here
I’m right here
Every tear that falls from your eyes
Falls into my hands
My dear (yeah)
When your heart is asking me why
I’m the warmth you can’t define
Mommy
I see you cry
But I’m still by your side
[Outro]
Lay your head down
Close your eyes
I’ll be the hush in the night (shh)
Mommy
When you look at the sky
That’s me
That’s me in the light
