You taught me how to whistle
And how to tie my shoes
And how to talk to Jesus
In the darkness of my room
You held my hand when I got stitches
When one of Tommy Tyler's pitches hit my face
One time I stole from your purse
Then I lied and made it worse
But you loved me anyway
			
Growing up
I remember your amazing grace
I still feel your arms around me now and then
I miss you wavin' from the front door
I can't drive by there anymore
'Cause no one'll ever love me
Like that again
			
You sent me all those letters
When I went off to school
I should've written you back
But I was too busy being cool
Funny how I couldn't wait
To get you on the phone to say
'Mom, I'm in love'
You were there whether or not 
I gave a little or a lot
It was enough

I can still hear you sayin'
You're proud of me
And I remember thinkin' of you
As my friend
I miss you wavin' from the front door
I can't drive by there anymore
'Cause no one'll ever love me
Like that again

I guess I miss you more today 
'Cause it's your birthday
And I couldn't bear for you
To spend it here alone
Wish I could say this to your face
Instead of talkin' to your name
Carved in stone

I can still hear you sayin'
You're proud of me
And I can feel your arms around me
Now and then
There's a hole in my heart
In the shape of you, Mom
'Cause no one'll ever love me
No one'll ever love me
Like that again
