[Verse 1]
Coffee cup cooling on the counter
Little shoes kicked off by the door
Baby’s laugh riding down the hallway
I’ve heard that sound before
You grew up fast in my kitchen
Crayons all over the floor
Now you’re here with your own little blessings
And somehow I love you more
[Chorus]
My arms keep stretching, wider, wider
Every new heartbeat just fits right in
From tiny fingers to tired teenagers
To the ones who made you grin
I got room at this old table
Pulled-out chairs and second plates
A mother’s love for all my branches
Just grows and grows and waits
[Verse 2]
FaceTime calls from different time zones
Pictures taped up on my fridge
First-grade art right next to diplomas
Every dream on that ridge
I pray your names when the house is quiet
Each one like a favorite song
From the first cry I ever answered
To the grandkids tagging along
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Come home broken, come home laughing
Come home late or right on time
There’s a porch light, always burning
There’s a place that’s always mine and yours
[Chorus]
