(Verse 1)
I remember them mornings, you calling my name
Sweet tea in the kitchen, sunshine through the frame
You’d brush back my hair, say “you gon’ be okay”
Didn’t know back then how much that would stay
You held all my tears like they wasn’t too much
Even on days when life got rough
You gave me a love that don’t ever break
A safe little place no one could take
(Pre-Chorus)
And I grew up but I still need you
More than I ever say
If I’m strong, it’s ‘cause you showed me
Love don’t walk away
(Chorus)
I’ll always be your baby
No matter how much I grow
Through every high and every low
You the first love that I know
If the world gets too heavy
I hear your voice in my soul
“You got this, don’t you worry”
And suddenly I’m whole
I’ll always be your baby
Even when I’m on my own
⸻
(Verse 2)
You taught me patience, you taught me grace
How to stand tall when I lose my place
Every little lesson, every little prayer
I still feel your love everywhere
I know I don’t say it like I should
But you mean more than words ever could
If I shine, it’s ‘cause you lit that light
You my angel even in this life
(Pre-Chorus)
If I ever lose my way
I know where my heart will go
Back to you, back to truth
Back to everything you showed
⸻
(Chorus)
I’ll always be your baby
No matter how much I grow
Through every high and every low
You the first love that I know
If the world gets too heavy
I hear your voice in my soul
“You got this, don’t you worry”
And suddenly I’m whole
I’ll always be your baby
Even when I’m on my own
⸻
(Bridge – soft, emotional)
And if time tries to take you from me someday
Just know your love ain’t never gon’ fade
It’s in my heart, in everything I do
Every part of me still holds you
⸻
(Final Chorus – deeper, layered)
I’ll always be your baby
Through every season I face
I see your smile in my reflection
I carry your embrace
And even when I’m older
With stories of my own
I’ll still be your baby
No matter where I go
