Honey

Honey

(A Taylor Swift-style pop ballad – think “Love Story” meets “Our Song” with a heartfelt, sing-along chorus. Upbeat verses, big emotional swell in the chorus, soft vulnerable bridge, then a soaring final chorus.)

Verse 1

Honey, you sparkle like fireflies in July,

The way you light up every room, every sky.

You started the tradition with Emery at five,

Special trips and adventures that keep us alive.

Abby, Priscilla, Jeremiah running wild,

Phoebe and Gabriella laughing like sunshine and smiles.

Pre-Chorus

Jasper, Josiah, Jaxon and Grace,

Three little hearts in an April embrace.

We all come running when Honey calls our name,

No other word feels quite the same.

Chorus

Honey, Honey, you’re our whole wide world,

The beat in our hearts, the flag unfurled.

We dive in your pool, ride four-wheelers fast,

Horses and laughter, making memories last.

“Helping” Papi with cattle turns into fishing lines,

Chicken-fried deer steak still dancing in our minds.

You’re our Honey, forever our favorite song,

We love you, we love you, where we all belong.

Verse 2

Summers at the ranch in New Mexico glow,

Dust on our boots and the wild winds blow.

Every night we chase fireflies, every day we roam,

Your house is the magic we call our home.

From the splash of the pool to the roar of the ATVs,

Everything’s better when you’re with us, Honey, please.

Pre-Chorus

Jasper, Josiah, Jaxon and Grace,

Three little hearts in an April embrace.

We all come running when Honey calls our name,

No other word feels quite the same.

Chorus

Honey, Honey, you’re our whole wide world,

The beat in our hearts, the flag unfurled.

We dive in your pool, ride four-wheelers fast,

Horses and laughter, making memories last.

“Helping” Papi with cattle turns into fishing lines,

Chicken-fried deer steak still dancing in our minds.

You’re our Honey, forever our favorite song,

We love you, we love you, where we all belong.

Bridge (softer, emotional)

We know the quiet ache when you think of Sunni,

Twenty years of missing your only one.

But Abby carries her smile like a gift from the stars,

You hold us together, no matter how far.

Retired from the stove but never from love,

You’re the heart of this family, our North Star above.

Final Chorus (louder, with all the kids singing)

Honey, Honey, you’re our whole wide world,

The reason we laugh, our favorite girl.

From Emery’s first trip to the newest little face,

Every moment with you is a magical place.

We dive in your pool, ride four-wheelers fast,

Horses and laughter, making memories last.

You’re our Honey… our Honey… our song.

Happy Mother’s Day, Honey – we love you all along
